Godinger Dublin Crystal Highball Glasses Set of 12 — 10 oz, Starburst Etching & Heavy Base

Handcrafted in the spirit of classic European crystal-making, the Dublin highball collection blends ornate etching with substantial weight to create glassware that shines under light while feeling solid in the hand. Each 5½-inch tumbler is cut with starburst motifs that climb from the thick base toward the rim, giving drinks a luminous presentation whether you’re serving a cocktail or a nonalcoholic refresher. The set of 12 makes it easy to outfit a dining table, home bar, or to give as a thoughtful gift for weddings and housewarmings.

What design features set the Dublin Highball glasses apart?

The Dublin pattern is defined by its starburst etching placed low on straight sides and the pronounced, thick base that adds weight and balance. These decorative cuts catch and refract light, creating a sparkling effect that complements both clear and colored beverages.

• 24% lead crystal construction for high clarity and refractive shine
• Starburst etching centered low on the glass for a classic motif
• Thick base adds stability and a premium feel
• 5½-inch height and 10-ounce capacity for standard highball servings

Are these glasses practical for everyday use or only for special occasions?

While the Dublin highballs have an elegant appearance suited to formal settings, their robust weight and straight-sided shape make them reliable for everyday use as well. They are crafted to withstand regular hosting and tabletop service when handled with care.

• Sturdy base reduces tipping risk during casual gatherings
• Straight sides are versatile for mixed drinks, juices, and iced teas
• Set of 12 supplies enough glasses for dinner parties or larger families
• Pairs well with other Dublin collection pieces for coordinated table settings

How should I clean and care for these crystal highballs?

Godinger recommends hand washing to preserve the etching and crystal clarity, though careful machine washing on a gentle cycle may be possible depending on your dishwasher. Avoid extreme temperature changes and abrasive cleaners to prevent etching wear or damage to the base.

• Wash by hand in warm, soapy water and dry with a soft cloth
• Avoid abrasive pads and harsh detergents that can dull the finish
• Store upright with space between pieces to prevent scratching
• Allow to reach room temperature before filling with hot or cold liquids

What occasions and uses suit the Dublin Highball set best?

These glasses work well across many settings—from a polished holiday table to everyday bar service. Their aesthetic elevates simple cocktails while still being practical for nonalcoholic servings and casual entertaining.

• Formal dinners and holiday celebrations where coordinated glassware matters
• Home bar use for cocktails like Screwdrivers, gin and tonics, or mixed refresher drinks
• Gifts for weddings, anniversaries, or housewarmings due to the full 12-piece set
• Pairing with other Dublin collection pieces for full-service occasions
