I have to say, I think Mr. Walker's review of these glasses isn't taking into account these are hand blown pieces. Every piece of hand blown glass I've ever owned has had small bubbles and minor imperfections, which I personally think adds to the charm of owning something that was made by human hands rather than stamped out by a machine.

As far as consistency, the four of these I own are remarkably consistent taking all that into account. Yes, they are not identical, but really, being hand blown, you cannot expect that.

My spanish teacher in high school told a story about shopping in Mexico one trip. She went to a glass blower and picked out a vase that she loved. She thought it would be fun to buy several of these for her friends as gifts for when she returned. She asked the craftsman to make her 10 "just like this". The man balked, and started shaking his head, begging, "por favor, poquito diferente". He simply couldn't make each one identical.

These are lovely shotglasses, and for a great price.

I purchased four of these shot glasses. Of the four, one has tiny bubbles throughout, one has black specs in the glass, one has a bulge in the glass, and the last is taller than the other three.

The shape is beautiful, but with all the imperfections, I'd recommend something else.

My most disappointing Bodum purchase ever.
