Product Insights
These hand-engraved crystal coupe glasses feature a unique star pattern revived from Victorian and Art Deco motifs, crafted using a 19th-century English copper-wheel technique that gives each glass subtle variation. The wide coupe bowl amplifies aroma and color, making them ideal for cocktails, though bubbles dissipate faster. Priced at $79 per pair, they offer value over luxury brands, with lead-free construction eliminating health risks. Dishwasher safe but better preserved by hand washing. The star pattern is the brand's flagship, available across stemmed and non-stemmed glasses, flutes, wine glasses, and tumblers. The glasses produce a bright, high-pitched ring and carry cultural cachet as a coupe icon since 1663, resonating with Gatsby-era glamour and Gen Z hosting.
- Shape benefits

- Hand engraving
Every star is individually hand-cut, giving each glass a unique pattern and texture.
Why this is supported
The hand engraving is performed by an artisan:

- Care
Dishwasher safe, but hand washing preserves the engraved details.
Why this is supported
While the product is marked dishwasher safe, experts caution:
many crystal-care experts recommend hand washing engraved crystal to preserve the clarity and the fine engraved lines over time
While listed as dishwasher safe, will repeated dishwasher cycles dull the engraving or cloud the crystal over time? Would hand washing be recommended to preserve the design?. So hand washing is advised to maintain the crispness of the hand-cut stars.
- Value
At $79 per pair, they offer hand-engraved crystal at a fraction of luxury brand costs.
Why this is supported
Hand-engraved crystal coupes from luxury brands cost considerably more. For instance, Richard Brendon's
Star-engraved mouth-blown crystal champagne

The lead-free crystal used in these coupes eliminates the lead leaching health risk of traditional lead crystal.
Despite being lead-free, the refractive index (1.49–1.52) is close to that of lead crystal (1.52–1.57), ensuring the engraved stars sparkle similarly. Additionally, lead-free crystal is harder and can be blown thinner, resulting in a delicate rim and durable build. It produces a bright, high-pitched ring characteristic of quality crystal and has a satisfying heft. The hardness also allows these coupes to be dishwasher safe, though hand-washing is recommended to preserve the engraving over time.
The lead-free crystal material enables a thin, delicate rim:
