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!

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.

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. :)

The glasses arrived as expected, nothing broken and are as described. We make old fashioned shakes and malts and these glasses are heavy-duty and quite atractive. The vendor turn-around was on-time and we would purchase from them again.

The glasses were great and exactly what we expected. The only problem is two of them were broken.

Not worth sending back or anything .....so poor packaging was an issue.

These glasses are heavy and just right for making parfait sundaes. I had originally bought 2 at Cracker Barrel for about $3.00 each, I think, but managed to break them over time. I missed having ice cream in them, so I didn't mind buying all 12 and free shipping too. Now I will have enough to use with guests.

I bought these to use for my family of 8. With 6 kids under the age of 12 it was important that they not be easy to break. They are excellent, commercial quality...just like you'd find in a restaurant! They arrived via FedEX, double boxed and none were broken...maybe they've changed the shipping method since the reviews were written about broken merchandise.

Very pleased with this product. The glasses are thick and won't break easily. Shipment was in a timely manner.

These Anchor Hocking Soda Fountainware made of durable crystal glass ROCK!!! I can wash 'em in super deduper HOT HOT water and they come out brand new every time. Love them, they are absolutely fabulous.

It is a great item, and will be especially fun during the summer for our ice cream parties.
