Kilimandjaro coloured by Theresienthal

These "Kilimandjaro" tumblers and carafe by Theresienthal are small masterpieces of cased crystal glass. They are mouthblown and engraved by hand. The fresh colours of the "Kilimandjaro" range are produced using a traditional overlay technique. The glassmakers need to possess a high level of skill to be able to melt the two layers of glass one on top of the other, so that a coloured layer encases the transparent glass. When the engraver cuts the pictures in the glass, the fine layer of colour is removed to reveal the transparent layer underneath – making the animals and landscape appear particularly vivid and alive.
The following motifs are available: wildebeest, lion, elephant, zebra, giraffe and rhinoceros.

Please avoid heating your glasses above 50°C and exposing them to abrupt temperature changes, such as by adding ice cubes to sun-warmed glasses or pouring hot tea into cold glasses. High temperatures and rapid changes create stresses that can lead to breakage – sometimes only later.

Glasses with paintings, gilding, or platinum plating must never be placed in the dishwasher, as precious metals and enamel colors can be damaged or washed out.

Plain glasses as well as cut or engraved glasses may be cleaned in the dishwasher, but only below 50°C and without harsh detergents. However, hand wash is recommended, as dishwashers can dissolve glass components and cause the surface to become cloudy over time.

It is best to use a pure linen cloth for drying and polishing.

For candle holders: to avoid thermal shock, change the candle before the flame is 3 cm away from the crystal.
