Inspired by the built world — The By the Glass line of crystal glassware takes its inspiration for its unique designs from iconic cities around the world. The designs chosen are meant to celebrate the daily urban life of each cities’ inhabitants, i.e. these glasses are not for tourists!
Each 10.5 ounce double old fashioned glass is crafted from lead-free German crystal produced in some of Europe’s most environmentally advanced mills. No chemicals, dyes, sprays, or additives are ever used so what is poured inside is up to you. Designed and etched in the U.S.A.
