- Is borosilicate glass better than regular glass for a tumbler?
- Yes for temperature swings. Borosilicate expands less when heated or chilled, so it is less likely to crack from hot coffee or ice than ordinary soda-lime glass. It is also lighter, which makes the glass feel delicate in the hand.
- Can I put the Smoke Pedestal Glass in the dishwasher?
- Yes. The glass is dishwasher safe. Hand washing keeps the smoke tint and the polished pedestal looking clear longer, since dishwasher detergents can dull glass over many cycles.
- What can I serve in a 7 oz glass?
- Small drinks: a neat or rocks pour of whiskey, an aperitif, sherry, dessert wine, espresso or a small juice. It is too small for a full highball or a large cocktail.
- Does the smoke tint affect the taste?
- No. The tint is in the glass, not a coating, so it does not change the taste or leave residue. It does make the drink's color harder to see.
- How does it compare with a standard rocks glass?
- It is smaller and lighter, with a pedestal base instead of a flat bottom. A standard rocks glass holds more and stacks easily; this one is more decorative and better for small, neat pours.
- Is it sold as a single glass or a set?
- The product is one short tumbler. If you want a matching set for a bar cart or dinner table, plan to buy several.
