The designers at Nambé constantly draw inspiration from their surroundings. The Taos Cross is reminiscent of the of the historic Ranchos de Taos church near Taos, New Mexico, which has captivated artists and photographers for years. Like the simple adobe church, the cross emanates serenity through a handcrafted feel. Lines that are less than straight, corners softly rounded--this is a cross that feels all-embracing. Made of full-lead crystal for brilliant depth and stability, the cross adds a powerful presence to any room and any décor, whether gracing a modern metal fireplace or a rustic hand-carved dresser.
- 8-inch height
- Crafted of full-lead crystal by skilled European glassblowers

About Nambé Crystal
In 1998, we introduced the collection of Nambé full-lead crystal. Each piece is mouth blown and hand cut in the traditional way by the finest glassblowers. Nambé Crystal is safe to use with food and beverages, but should never be subjected to sudden temperature changes. Nambé Crystal requires delicate handling. After use, hand wash items in warm water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth or sponge. Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent spotting.
Care
- Window-cleaning liquid or rubbing alcohol may be used to clean Nambé Crystal
- Do not subject Nambé Crystal to hot water or to abrasive detergents
- Protect crystal from sudden changes in temperature, which may cause pieces to break
- Displaying in sunny windows for extended periods is not recommended
- If a chip is discovered, take your piece to a local crystal shop or crystal engraver for sanding
- For vases: Avoid mineral stains by using distilled water for flower arrangements and change water frequently; remove stains and mineral deposits with a bottle brush using a mixture of one half vinegar and one half water
- For decanters and vases: To remove stains, remove residue using a handful of uncooked rice in a solution of lemon juice or vinegar and warm water; for tougher stains, allow pieces to soak in warm water with a denture cleaning tablet
- For candleholders: Candles must not burn within 1 inch of the crystal, as this may result in damage to the candleholder
- For champagne flutes: It is best to empty champagne from your flutes and wash and dry them soon after serving; leaving your champagne flutes unwashed overnight will result in discoloration
Lead levels in the crystal glasses sold by Nambé comply with FDA standards.
