5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality, Excellent Buy: But Why is Amazon the Only Retailer to Stock Soda Fountain Malt Glasses?, January 19, 2009

This review is from: Anchor Hocking Clear Crystal Soda-Fountain Glass, Set of 12 (Kitchen)

Perhaps you too have noticed the proliferation of martini glasses and other forms of retro-is-back stemware offered by bed, bath & kitchen retailers. Nevertheless there are a few things that are nearly impossible to find through traditional retail channels. These old fashioned soda fountain malt/sundae glasses certainly qualify. Why they have all but disappeared from retail shelves ---- even the stock-everything-under-the-sun Walmart ---- beats me. Sure they harken back to the 1950s (and even earlier). But does it ever go out of fashion to serve your ice cream and soda deserts in style? Not in my book. These are stylish and classy. Glass tumblers and ceramic cereal/soup bowls doubling as ice cream and soda fountain servingware are not.

These are heavy, commercial quality glasses. I am thankful that Amazon offers them, and at a great price too. Unfortunately, the second item that nobody stocks offline anymore is a necessary accompaniment when serving a thick malt: Iced Tea Spoons. These Anchor Hocking Soda Fountainware glasses, which stand seven inches tall, are a perfect match for iced tea spoons with their elongated handles. Bed, Bath & Beyond doesn't stock them. Macys doesn't offer them. And ironically enough, the flatware market king, Oneida, doesn't even appear to manufacture them. Again, Amazon to the rescue. Buy 'em both while you still can and you too can host your own ice cream social. Retro has never been so cool!

3.0 out of 5 stars Breakage, January 20, 2009

This review is from: Anchor Hocking Clear Crystal Soda-Fountain Glass, Set of 12 (Kitchen)

I am happy with the product itself...however,
out of the 12 glasses that were ordered, 4 glasses were shattered all over the box. I salvaged 8 glasses and didn't pursue the damages with the company. Very poorly packed...only separated by the cardboard dividers...no extra packing paper was added...I was surprised that the delivery person would even deliver a package that was rattling with broken glass because there was so much of it and it was so obvious.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect sundae glasses!, January 17, 2009

These are EXACTLY like the sundae glasses we bought at Crate and Barrel years ago. I was looking to add more to our set of 6, but C&B didn't carry them anymore. I was completely delighted when I saw Amazon had a whole set of 12 for such a great price! My family uses these all the time for their ice cream, and now with an extra set of 12 on hand, we can offer a sundae buffet to our guests when we have company. These really are very well made, with nice thick glass, and sturdy bottoms. I never knew it was Anchor Hocking brand since there is no label. I just thought they were an exclusive C&B item. Great job, Amazon, for keeping your prices low and your shipping is superb! It was a real "treat" having these over the Christmas holidays. :)
