The Maison & White Edge Champagne Flutes in Iridescent — Set of 4, 180ml Each, 24.5x4.7cm, Handmade 100% Lead-Free Tempered Crystal, Tall Cylindrical Body with Slender Stem, 2-Year Warranty

The Maison & White edge champagne flutes in iridescent finish, in a set of 4. Each flute measures 24.5cm tall and 4.7cm in diameter with a 180ml capacity. Handmade from 100% lead-free crystal that has been tempered for durability. The tall cylindrical body and slender stem hold the champagne or prosecco at the correct depth to maintain the carbonation and temperature, and the iridescent finish gives each glass a contemporary, coloured sheen that distinguishes them from a standard clear flute. 2-year warranty included.

Why You’ll Love It

The Maison & White handmade 100% lead-free crystal construction gives each flute a wall thickness and optical clarity that machine-pressed soda-lime glass cannot replicate at this price point, creating a glass that produces a clear ring when touched and has a fine, polished appearance that reads as quality glassware to guests — Machine-pressed soda-lime glass champagne flutes have a uniform wall thickness and a slightly hazy optical quality caused by the pressing process, and produce a dull sound rather than a ring when touched, which experienced guests recognise as an indicator of lower-quality glass — the handmade lead-free crystal of these Maison & White flutes is drawn rather than pressed, producing finer and more consistent walls with higher optical clarity, and the crystal composition produces an audible ring when the flutes are touched together that gives the glasses the feel and sound of quality crystal without containing the lead that traditional crystal formulas require.
The Maison & White iridescent finish gives each flute a coloured sheen that changes with the angle of the light and the viewing position, providing a distinctive visual effect that a standard clear flute cannot produce and making the glasses a visible feature of the table setting rather than a background element — Standard clear crystal and glass champagne flutes are transparent and colourless, so their visual presence on a table comes entirely from the shape of the glass and the colour of the drink inside rather than from any surface quality of the glass itself, making them blend into the table setting rather than drawing attention — the iridescent surface finish on these Maison & White flutes refracts light across the visible spectrum from the glass surface itself, producing a coloured sheen that shifts as the glass is moved or the viewing angle changes, making each glass a visual element of the table setting before any drink is poured.
The Maison & White 24.5cm height and 4.7cm diameter give the flute the proportions of a formal champagne flute that preserves carbonation and serves the correct volume for a standard champagne pour, rather than the wider bowl of a coupe or standard wine glass that causes champagne to lose its fizz more quickly — Wide-bowl coupes and standard wine glasses expose a larger surface area of champagne to the air, accelerating the escape of carbonation and causing the drink to go flat faster than in a narrow flute, and the wider bowl makes it visually difficult to assess the correct champagne pour volume without overfilling — the narrow 4.7cm diameter of these flutes restricts the surface area of the champagne exposed to air, slowing carbonation loss and keeping the drink fizzy throughout the glass, and the 24.5cm height gives a 180ml pour depth that is easily assessed visually when filling without requiring a measure.
