I've owned this set of glasses for years and bought a second box to supplement my supply. They are comfortable to grip, survive the dishwasher with ease, are heavy enough not to tip easily, and look great on the table.

I inherited a set of these from a family member and have since put them into the garage sale box. They are good looking and durable enough, but that ring at the bottom collects the drippy condensation from cold drinks and spills it on your shirt or your plate when you pick up the glass and tilt it to take a sip. The other glasses we have are smooth sides and the condensation rolls down as normal and deposits on the coasters. Maybe this doesn't matter if you don't live in a hot humid state like we do.

These are the best large glasses I've ever used. We bought a set years ago, and as with everything, their numbers dwindled to two, and I began looking for a place to get another set. I was lucky enough to find them on the internet, and I'm pleased to say they're still made as well as they were when I originally purchased the first set. They are quite heavy, and will crack easily with too fast a change in temperature, but this is a necessary evil, I'm sure, with such large containers. Try 'em, you'll like 'em. 5 stars.

Two adults. No kids. Careful. Yet only three of these glasses are left out of two dozen. Most shatter during washing or when the fridge drops in ice cubes. Always splits top to bottom along the edge between one side and the next.

These are great glasses for the office as they are sturdy, nice looking and hold up well in the dishwasher each night. Since they are used in an office, no worry when one occasionally breaks, since we can restock with the same style. Have been buying them for years. They're great looking and comfortable to hold.

I bought this glass to go into our rental property. It's a great glass because it's easy to hold and it looks great.

What can I say.......I absolutely love the glasses. They bring back so many good memories of my childhood and dining out with my parents. The quality is very good and the base makes it exceptionally sturdy. I've never been into retro before but now that I have these glasses, I'm hooked!!!

My glasses are beautiful and elegant. They arrived on time in perfect condition. The price was better than any local price.

I ordered these for my mother for Christmas this year and was pleasantly surprised when they arrived. It looks like the base of one cracked enroute, but that was to be expected. Very sturdy, VERY pretty...I think they will be well received! The stickers at the bottom were kind of a pain, but after a little scotch tape and rubbing alcohol, they came off in no time!

I needed glasses so I ordered these and they are well made and look nice as for the tags on the bottom I just used my little tourch and my scrapper and it came right off good deal.
