Start with what the LUX Tumbler is made for
The LUX Tumbler 400ml (approximately 13.5 oz) is made from heat-resistant glass, not stainless steel. That distinction matters for every part of daily use: it handles boiling water, goes in the microwave and oven, and is dishwasher safe, but it also demands more careful handling than an insulated metal tumbler.
Before you plan your first pour, check the key specifications below so you know exactly what you are working with. The tumbler measures φ90 x H100 x W120 mm, holds 400ml, and has a thermal shock resistance of 120°C. It is suitable for household ovens up to approximately 200°C.

Everyday uses that suit the glass
Because the LUX Tumbler is heat-resistant glass, it works well for hot tea, coffee, or even boiling water straight from the kettle. The 400ml capacity is a comfortable size for a morning brew or a serving of soup. You can also use it to reheat leftovers in the microwave or warm food in a household oven up to about 200°C.
The clear glass lets you see exactly what you are drinking or serving, which makes it a natural fit for layered drinks, iced tea, or a simple water tumbler on the table. Keep in mind that the tumbler is not insulated, so hot contents will make the outside hot to the touch. Always use oven mitts or similar protection when handling it during and immediately after heating.
Safe handling for hot and cold
- Use protection for hot contents: The item becomes hot during and immediately after heating. Use oven mitts or a thick towel before picking it up.
- Protect your table surface: Placing the hot tumbler directly on a table may leave marks. Set it on a mat or coaster instead.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes: Sudden cooling can cause breakage. Do not touch the hot tumbler with a wet cloth or place it on a wet surface while hot.
- Thaw frozen food first: Heating frozen food in a preheated oven may cause breakage. Let food thaw before heating it in the tumbler.
- Do not freeze contents: Freezing contents may cause the glass to break due to the expansion of food volume.
How to clean the LUX Tumbler
The tumbler is dishwasher safe, but hand washing gives you more control and helps avoid accidental knocks. Follow these steps for a routine clean.
- Let it cool first: Allow the tumbler to reach room temperature before washing, especially after hot use. Sudden cooling can cause breakage.
- Use warm, soapy water: Wash with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge or cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads, which can scratch the glass.
- Rinse and dry: Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel. Avoid placing a hot tumbler on a wet surface.
- Check for damage: Inspect the glass for cracks, chips, or scratches. Do not use the tumbler if any are present, as it may break unexpectedly and cause injury.
A note on the lid
The supplied product information for the LUX Tumbler 400ml describes the tumbler itself and does not include a lid or lid-care instructions. If your tumbler came with a lid, check the packaging or any accompanying documentation for specific cleaning and fitting guidance. For general tumbler lid care, the principles are similar: wash gently, avoid abrasive cleaners, and inspect seals regularly. But since no lid details are confirmed for this product, treat any lid you use as a separate accessory and follow its own instructions.
What to expect from handmade glass
The LUX Tumbler is handmade, so individual variations in size, weight, capacity, and color may occur. You might also notice air bubbles, wrinkles, fine scratches, small inclusions, or mold marks. These are normal results of the manufacturing process and material characteristics, not defects.
The clear color option keeps the look simple and lets the contents take center stage. Because the glass is transparent, any scratches or chips are easier to spot, which makes your regular damage check all the more important.
Cleaning and care points to remember
- Dishwasher safe, but hand wash when you can: The tumbler is dishwasher safe, but hand washing reduces the risk of accidental impact.
- No abrasive cleansers or scouring pads: These can scratch the glass and dull its appearance.
- Avoid overheating: Do not overheat in the microwave or oven, and never heat an empty tumbler.
- No direct flames: Do not use in ovens with direct flames.
- Retire damaged pieces: Stop using the tumbler if it has cracks, chips, or scratches.
Making the LUX Tumbler part of your routine
The LUX Tumbler 400ml is a versatile glass tumbler for hot and cold drinks, reheating, and even light oven use. Treat it with the same care you would give any heat-resistant glass: warm it and cool it gradually, protect your surfaces, and inspect it regularly. With that approach, it can be a reliable everyday piece for tea, coffee, soup, or water.
If you are looking for a tumbler to toss into a bag or use on the go, this glass design is better suited to table and kitchen use. For those situations, an insulated stainless tumbler would be a different tool entirely. But for calm, home-based drinking and serving, the LUX Tumbler offers a clear, simple way to enjoy your favorite beverages.
