After undergoing 1500 dishwasher cycles, Spiegelau stemware was certified as "extremely dishwasher safe" by an independent laboratory. They found no scratching, markings, loss of brilliance, foggy shadows, change in color or brilliance or build up of water chemicals and residue. Spiegelau's remarkable durability can be attributed in large part to the Platinum Glass process. As the glass goes from its powder to its liquid stage, liquid glass is passed through platinum-lined tubes to eliminate any impurities and remove all imperfections and inconsistencies that might otherwise exist. (Platinum prevents leaching that may occur from other equipment linings) While more expensive, this innovative use of technology proves Spiegelau's commitment to quality. The result is a "high performance" wine glass with a remarkable marriage of elegance, functionality and durability.

Schott Zwiesel has created crystal glasses that are individually tempered in three zones for greater strength. Highly resilient to dishwashers and accidental breakage and chipping, each glass will stand up to everyday use while looking great. Schott Zwiesel (a brand of Zwiesel Kristallglas, AG) has a 130 year history of innovation and success, including such break through developments as the first machine made stemware and the first lead-free crystal glass. With the introduction of the proprietary Tritan® Crystal technique (the result of special additives such as titanium with a unique tempering process) Zwiesel has once again revolutionized the industry. Rigorous laboratory testing proves the brilliance, dishwasher safety, and break resistance of Tritan.

Rigorous laboratory testing proves the brilliance, dishwasher safety, and break resistance of Tritan. Highly resistant to chipping and breaking even at its most sensitive areas - the rim and at the points where the stem joins the bowl and the foot. The glasses stand up to daily use and thousands of cycles in your dishwasher, without any blemishes or loss of brilliance.

After long years of intensive research and development, in collaboration with the University of Erlangen, Schott Zwiesel has succeeded in creating a new type of crystal glass. The use of proprietary ingredients combined with an advanced manufacturing process, has created an incrediibly pure, hard and clear crystal glass. A crystal glass that is highly resistant to the corrosive effects of commercial dishwashers as well as resistant to breakage, patent crystal glass that set new standards.

Darby barware is an extensive family on a chord of retro, clubby luxury. This crystal is distinguished by its incredible weight and soul, with tailored horizontal cross-cutting over deep paneled and scalloped vertical cuts, evoking something of a plaid design. A classic star-cut pattern on the bottom of each glass adds perfect refraction and tradition. Since his arrival on the New York design stage, O'Brien has been widely recognized for his trademark style of "warm modernism," bringing vanguard mid-century forms and furnishings into a context of classic comfort. In both interiors and products, his firm promotes understated elegance with a pulse on tradition, deploying pairings of old and new, sophisticated and simple, to create a style that feels at once refined and familiar.

To be fully enjoyed, wine needs to breathe, and when poured into a glass, should reach the widest part of the glass, usually about half full. This set of glasses was designed for enjoying vintages of Pinot and Nebbiolo - a less common wine, made from grapes grown in the Piedmont region of Italy, good with aged cheeses and baked salmon. Pinot wines commonly match well with seafood. These glasses from Riedel are part of the Vinum Extreme collection, machine-blown, lead-crystal glasses whose forms are fundamentally different from all other glasses on the market. Named for their extreme contours, these glasses have diamond-shaped bowls that angle out dramatically before narrowing at the top, thus creating exceptionally wide evaporation surfaces that intensify bouquet and enhance silkiness in the mouth. Hand wash for lasting results.
