Double Wall Glasses

Double wall glasses are so called “thermos glasses” as they keep the drink at their temperature longer thanks to the double wall vacuumed feature. When the drink is hot, the glass keeps your hand cool. While when the drink is cold, the glass does not frost so your hand stays dry.

​

However as these products are uniquely handcrafted they are delicate and not suitable for use by children due to thin body gauge.
