FAQ: GLASSES
Answers to our most frequently asked questions about our glasses
Motel a Miio glasses are handmade, with most of them being mouth-blown in Portugal. Each glass undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process. As a result, every glass is truly one-of-a-kind – with slight variations in shape, wall thickness, and color that are part of the glass’s character.
Yes, Motel a Miio glasses are dishwasher-safe. However, to preserve the colors and the glass texture over time, we recommend washing them by hand with lukewarm water and a mild dish soap.

These variations are not manufacturing defects, but rather the hallmark of true craftsmanship.
