Sitka Whiskey Glass

Vitreluxe

Nestled neatly off the main street of Portland's historic Sellwood neighborhood sits Lynn Read's quaint and unassuming glassblowing studio, Vitreluxe.

Named after Read's affinity for expressive and lustrous forms, Vitreluxe embodies glasswares that command attention in any context. With over two decades of glass blowing experience, Read designs with a refreshing lack of preciousness that allows new forms and ideas to occur within the material. The resulting pieces feature organic textures and shapes that celebrate the unpredictability and unique nature of glass.

Outside of his commitment to offering vibrant and spirited works, Read's deep respect for the natural world not only influences his designs but also helps guide his ethical values. Running on 100% renewable energy, Vitreluxe remains one of the few glass studios to implement a fully sustainable system for melting glass.

Hand-blown/furnace-made glass is not resistant to rapid temperature changes. To avoid a break, keep the piece away from dishwashers, open flames, boiling liquids, and drastic temperature changes.

As a general rule, do not stack or store your glass pieces with the weight on the lip.

Always be careful when using chipped or cracked glass. Not handling with care may result in injury.

If the piece is lightly dirty, rinse it under lukewarm water using a soft sponge. If there are oily areas, instead of using only lukewarm water, use a mild dish detergent and a soft sponge to gently clean the piece.

After drying thoroughly, store the piece on a shelf or in a cabinet with good airflow.

To care for sandblasted/frosted glass, clean by gently wiping in circles with a soft microfiber cloth and a mild dish soap solution or a non-ammonia glass cleaner. Always rinse thoroughly with warm water to prevent soap residue from dulling the satin finish.

The porous texture of sandblasted/frosted glass can easily absorb oils. To dissolve stubborn smudges or fingerprints, gently wipe with rubbing alcohol or a mild oil-cutting product on a microfiber cloth.

If the sandblasted/frosted glass looks ashy or dry, apply a tiny amount of mineral oil across the surface and buff thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth.
