These beautiful glasses will not disappoint. Substantial, artisan-like quality...each is one of a kind with irregular color formations. Affordable. Note: They also come in a 14 oz size which I highly recommend. I have both and the larger capacity just allows that little extra room so that the glass does not look "over-full." Check out the larger size...also GREAT reviews :) Added bonus...glassware does not show lipstick or fingerprints. Citrus pulp from lemons or limes also not prominent. Enjoy!

I was at a brewery recently and they served me a drink in one of these glasses (a clear one). I fell in love with it and asked the manager if I could buy it from him. He told me he really liked them, too and bought them on-line. He was kind and generously gave it to me.

Once home, I looked them up and was happy to find them on Amazon. And, even better, they had a cool blue swirl, which matched my dishes!

These glasses are sturdy, but not overly heavy, interesting to look at (in the good way), are textured on the outside (for a better grip), smooth on the inside (for easier cleaning), have a thick wall (for durability), feel great in the hand (mine, anyway), and have a nice rounded edge/lip (for my lip comfort). They are "organic" in design and there are variations from one to the other. I wish mine had a little more of a swirled blue, but they are still gorgeous and very cool. The box shows a scalloped edge, but mine have only a slight dip in the edge. I think this is a good thing, as I imagine a scalloped edge would be more difficult to neatly drink from.

I would have preferred they had been made from recycled glass. I've read that it takes up fewer resources to produce items this way. If they are made from (or contain) recycled glass, I would have liked if the description (or box) stated that.

NOTE: the Amazon description says Gift Boxed, but mine came in a box that had very sloppily-applied clear tape all around it and a big green Amazon sticker on it. I didn't care, cause they were for me, but I would have been disappointed if I was expecting a better presentation. They are individually-wrapped in cushiony material for protection.

Overall, I Highly Recommend them! :)

I rely on reviews here at Amazon to help me make informed buying choices. I hope this review has helped you in the same manner. If you voted this as helpful, I Thank You! :)

What beautiful glassware. Adds a pleasing dimension to my table. Quick delivery. Am very satisfied.

I bought 8 of these glasses after buying 8 of the larger (14-oz, and equally beautiful) size, and being impressed by their quality. I do wish they made a smaller size for juice glasses - these are a little large for that, though they're a nice size for milk and other beverages served without ice. (I use the 14-oz size for iced drinks.) These glasses are very attactive, solidly made without being unduly heavy, and easy to hold - exactly what I wanted.

I was amazed to ubox this set of 4 very artistic, very heavy and solid feel in your hand. 5 Stars.. Drinks look amazing in them !
Well worth the price (and my hours looking for bar glasses)

I am ordering 4 more to have a larger set.

These glasses are beautiful and just the right color. Unfortunately they are less than functional for me.

* The bottom is very narrow and the top extremely wide, like a funnel. Have you ever tried holding a funnel? It's not the most comfortable thing.
* The fact that the top is much wider relative to the bottom means that each unit of liquid vertically results in much more volume. In other words, leaving just a little space empty at the top results in a lot of liquid left out. The glass does hold the volume it claims to, but unless it is topped off a lot of liquid is left out, making it seem to hold a lot less than it does. A more uniform and less funnel-like glass could have an equal empty space at the top and have more liquid in total.
* The funnel-like shape makes it hard to fill; fast-running water from the faucet just bounces, slides, and splashes out.
* The glass is very thick. Normally this would be a good thing, but the glass is so thick that it makes it hard to drink; it feels like you're inserting a horse bit rather than drinking from a cup.

Too bad---if they made these thinner in a more uniform shape I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

Some of these items are personal preference, so I added a star to bring it to the "meh" level.

These are wonderful sturdy glasses that don't crack in the dishwasher. They are ideal for water, juice, or even wine. They hold up very well and are always beautiful.

Plan to buy more of these! They are heavy and look WONDERFUL with my cobalt (Fiesta) dishes! They are much better quality than I had thought when I purchased them. I DO wish they made THREE sizes though... but I can do with two ;)

There aren't many good highball glasses made at this quality for this price. It feels like hand made glass, very thick, very high quality, feels right in your hand, yet rugged enough to last for decades with proper care. The rim is uneven, which I find more rustic, hand-made, and appealing. The pattern is very pretty, and cobalt blue is one of my favourite colors. There was a tiny piece of chipped glass rattling around in my pack of 4 but I could not find where it came from -- I suspect it was part of a larger palette and it fell down from another box where a glass had broken. My wife will be enjoying quality mixed drinks in these for years.

These glasses are exactly as pictured. They arrived double-boxed, the interior box had a smashed corner but the glasses were in perfect condition. I really like them!
