  1. How to Care for Your Engraved Crystalware

  2. Crystalware pieces require special care to maintain their integrity and brilliance over decades of use. Follow these tried and true methods to care for your engraved crystalware. ●     Use a Soft Touch Be gentle when handling crystal stemware. Avoid striking the rims of glassware together and prevent heavy objects from hitting the pieces. This safeguards against chipping.  ●     Check Water Temperature  Wash the engraved crystal glass in warm water, not hot. Drastic temperature changes can lead to breaks and cracks. Ensure water cools before removing.

  3. ●     Make a Mild Solution Clean crystal using a mild dish soap diluted in warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. A solution of vinegar and water also works well to remove stubborn spots and maintain shine.  ●     Handle with Care Grip stemware by the stem or base, not the bowl. This avoids fingerprints on the glass that can become etched over time from exposure to cleaning products.

  4. Proper Drying and Storage ●     Dry Each Piece  Due to the intricacy of engraved designs, crystal requires thorough drying after washing. Allow glassware to air dry on a soft towel before putting it away. Pay special attention to crevices.  ●     Use Proper Glassware Storage Store crystal stemware to prevent damage between uses. Line shelves with felt or purchase specialised glassware sleeves. Keep pieces separated by dividers and avoid overcrowding. ●     Maintain Relative Humidity To prevent clouding and cracks, store crystal wares in places with a consistent ambient temperature and moderate humidity of around 50-70%. Avoid temperature fluctuations from heat and AC vents. 

  5. Special Care for Cut Designs The exquisite cut designs that make crystalware iconic require a gentle touch. Follow these tips: ●     Know Your Cut Lines Familiarise yourself with the cut lines in each engraved pattern. When wiping or drying pieces, trace lines with a microfiber cloth to pick up moisture while avoiding catch points.  ●     Inspect for Chips Examine cut crystal when removing it from storage or washing. Small chips where the design meets the rim may occur with improper handling. Address any minor damage to avoid escalation. ●     Clear Away Debris  If your crystal stemware has an open design, be vigilant about clearing away debris. Small particles can get caught on intricate etchings. Rinse and dry pieces after use. 

  6. What Not to Do Avoid these common mistakes when caring for your crystalware: ●     Soaking overnight ●     Submerging tops of pieces  ●     Placing in direct sunlight ●     Stacking glassware without protection ●     Using abrasive cleaning tools With attention and care, your engraved crystal glass will maintain its beauty and legacy for generations.
