The glass your brandy deserves.
A fine cognac is built slowly, over years in oak. It is wasted on the wrong glass. The Wicklow snifter is shaped to make the most of it. Each one is hand cut from lead-free European crystal, with a rounded bowl that narrows towards the rim so the aroma gathers where you want it. Cup it in your palm and the warmth of your hand lifts the spirit. Cut, not moulded. No mould lines, no shortcuts.
◆
Cut, not moulded
Every facet of the Wicklow cut is shaped and polished into the crystal by hand. No mould lines, no pressed shortcuts. It is the kind of detail a serious drinker spots straight away.
◆
Lead-free European crystal
You get the clarity, the weight and the ring of traditional crystal, but without the lead. It is stronger too, and perfectly safe to use every day.
◆
A bowl that lifts the aroma
The rounded bowl narrows towards the rim, so the spirit opens up and the nose gathers. You taste more of what the distiller intended.
◆
Made to be cradled
Balanced to sit in the palm, where the warmth of your hand gently coaxes the aroma from a brandy or a cognac. Easy to hold, easy to swirl.
◆
8.5oz, the right pour
A bowl of around 250ml. Room enough to swirl a measure and let it breathe, without losing the spirit in too much glass.
◆
Boxed and ready
Your glass arrives in a green gift box, ready to give or to add straight to your collection. For the emerald satin lined presentation, choose one of our boxed sets of two.

Made for spirits
The bowl is built to aerate and concentrate, so brandy and cognac show their best. It suits an Armagnac, a sipping rum, or a peated whisky you want to nose. Warm it in the hand, give it a slow swirl, and take your time. This is a glass for the quiet drink at the end of the day.

What our customers say
“Very elegant in looks and feel. Makes my brandy taste that much better. Works well for anything you want to taste a little finer than it might be.”
Roger ★★★★★ Verified Purchase
“This is, in fact, what it says it is. Other glasses claim to be cut crystal, but look closely and the pattern is from a mould. This one is actually cut and polished.”
antattack ★★★★★ Verified Purchase

Why Hemswell Crystal
Hemswell Crystal started with a simple belief. A fine spirit deserves a fine glass to drink it from. We design in England, in the quiet of the Lincolnshire countryside, and we work with the glass masters of the Bohemian borderlands, where the craft goes back more than 130 years. That partnership brings together British restraint and European skill. The crystal is lead-free, so it keeps its brilliance and its ring. The rim is drawn thin where it counts. And the whole glass is made to be used, not shut away in a cabinet. No shortcuts, no compromises. Just the glass your drink deserves.
A single glass, properly made. It arrives in a green gift box, ready to give or to slot into your collection. For the emerald satin lined presentation box, choose one of our boxed sets of two.
Frequently asked questions
Is this glass lead-free?
Yes. It is made from lead-free European crystal. You get the clarity, weight and ring people associate with traditional crystal, but without the lead, and with a little more strength for everyday use.
How big is it, and how much should I pour?
Each glass holds 8.5oz, around 250ml. The bowl is compact and sits comfortably in the hand, narrowing to the rim to gather the aroma. A 2 to 3oz pour has plenty of room to breathe.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No, this is hand wash only. A quick wash in warm soapy water and a dry with a soft cloth takes moments, and it keeps the cut crystal clear and bright for years rather than clouding it.
Is it fragile, and how is it protected in transit?
The crystal has a reassuring heft for a snifter. It travels well protected in its gift box, and every order is covered by our 12 month guarantee. If anything arrives less than perfect, we will put it right.
Everyday glass, or just for special occasions?
Both. It is tough enough for the everyday pour and smart enough for a celebration. This is a glass you will actually reach for, not one that stays behind cabinet glass.
What else can I drink from it?
Brandy and cognac are the natural fit. The bowl also suits an Armagnac, a sipping rum, or a peated whisky you want to nose. It is made for spirits you take slowly.
Does it come in a gift box?
Yes, your single glass comes in a green gift box. If you would like the emerald satin lined presentation box, choose one of our boxed sets of two.
