Amazon.com Product Description

Bring a unique and trend-forward look to the table with this set of six 12-ounce glasses, which measure 3 by 3 by 4-3/5 inches each. Intricately handcrafted of mouth-blown borosilicate glass--the same material used to make scientific lab equipment--the glasses offer durable, temperature-safe construction that holds both hot and cold drinks at their optimal temperature longer than traditional drinkware, making them an ideal choice when serving wine, beer, coffee, tea, and even kid-friendly beverages such as milk, juice, or hot cocoa. The walls of each vessel sport two layers of clear glass that create a dramatic optical illusion of liquid suspended within, while at the same time resisting heat and preventing condensation--leaving them comfortable to hold and safe for placement on any tabletop or counter. Furthermore, their smoothly rounded profiles and low statures fit perfectly in the hand and make it a pleasure to enjoy everyday dining, special-occasion hosting, and everything in between. A smart and family-friendly addition to any kitchen, the handsome glasses go safely in the microwave and clean up easily in the dishwasher for perpetually cloud-resistant, crystal-clear presentation and performance.

Editor's Note: Because the glasses are mouth blown, each one may have slight variations in height, thickness, and weight. Bodum recommends using care when placing ice into the mugs to avoid fracturing the inner layer. Do not use metal spoons or place the mugs into a crowded dishwasher.

Product Description

The bodum pavina double wall glasses are individually handmade by expert artisans. Because this glass is mouth-blown, each one may have slight differences in height, thickness and weight. These glasses will help to keep hot drinks warmer and cool drinks cooler, while also protecting your hand from excessive heat or condensation. Because they are double wall, they don't sweat, eliminating the need for a coaster. Liquids appear to be floating on air. Use them as wine glasses to keep you hands from transferring heat to the wine. For warm beverages and optimal heat retention, pre-heat the glass before adding hot liquids. Dishwasher and microwave safe. Please use care when placing ice into the glass to avoid fracturing the inner layer. We suggest adding the liquid first and then the ice. Please also avoid using metal spoons or placing the glass into a crowded dishwasher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool to the touch, keeps drinks hot or cold, December 25, 2009

These glasses are double-walled blown glass. The air space between the layers of borosilicate glass keeps the temperature of the drink from contacting your hand. So hot drinks inside stay hot, but the surface is room temperature; the same applies to a chilled beer or an iced tea. We like to drink hot tea from these glasses. Tea seems to taste better out of a glass and you can admire the amber color as you drink your beverage. Borosilicate glass is like laboratory glass; can be blown thin but it is relatively strong.

A couple of things: for one, these glasses do not go in the dishwasher. They are a bit fragile and more importantly, the heat of the dishwasher can sometimes cause expansion which for a glass of this type can lead to breakage. Better to wash these carefully by hand. Which brings me to my next point; they are rounded and slightly larger than my grip, which is fairly good-sized for a woman. So if you have small hands, this can be slippery when you are washing them in the sink.

I like double-walled glasses so I don't think this is a huge detriment, but you do have to be careful. The insulation factor is pleasant for hot and cold drinks, so it's worth washing these by hand.

4.0 out of 5 stars elegant product; delicate but useful, July 14, 2009

I first saw this brand for sale at Starbucks. Useful for coffee, milk, juice, beer, chilled wine, highballs, etc. They keep hot drinks hot yet cool to the touch, and cold drinks cold without sweating and ruining tabletops. I _love_ them, and they are already great favorites around the house. Maybe too great...
Already two of these elegant glasses have broken, one en route to my home (which the seller immediately replaced) and one in my sink. However, if you remember that these are hand-blown glass and treat them as carefully as a wine glass, they should be plenty durable. They are perfectly dishwasher safe--I just need to train my family not to toss them in the sink.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, but they don't last, January 11, 2011

I was given a set of these glasses as a Christmas gift in 2009. One year later, I have one glass left.

They didn't break in the usual way. These glasses have a small glass plug in the base that seals the vacuum between the layers. Some of these plugs broke because they touched whatever surface you place the glass on before the bottom of the glass did. Others popped in the dishwasher. Others just broke for no noticeable reason. But the bottom line is that I have one glass remaining that is still sealed, and the rest have a hole in the bottom that lets water and grime into the area between the inner and outer surface.

I did like them a lot while they were functional. You could put a cold beverage in them on a humid day and the glass wouldn't sweat or make your hand cold, and they do a reasonably good job at keeping cold beverages cold.
