The glasses themselves are great. Their realistic size means that a real martini (about 2.5 ounces of alcohol plus some ice water) won't get completely lost inside them. (Come on, people, a 12 ounce cocktail glass?) Plus, they aren't ridiculously shallow; the angle of the glass sizes mean you can walk around with your drink without fear of sloshing half of it on your shoes.

However, the packaging that Libbey saw fit to put them in was obviously never intended to be shipped. There's no padding in the original box, and the dividers between the glasses are plain, flat cardboard. While Amazon.Com (bless them) wrapped the whole thing in bubble wrap, the original packaging is completely inadequate. Upon picking up the box from my front stoop, I could hear the broken glass within. Three of the twelve glasses were broken.

The glasses are great; Amazon.Com did their job; but Libbey doesn't know how to package cocktail glasses. Caveat emptor.

We had friends over and made grasshoppers. The size was perfect for experimenting with the flavors and variations. The storage box is great to put them away for next time. They wash well in the dishwasher and are sturdy enough for not-so-agile hands... Great value for price paid.

Have fun!

I've been looking for decently priced cocktail glasses that hold about 4 oz with a straight stem and a smooth shape, and this is just the deal! Although I agree with another reviewer about the packaging being inappropriate for delicate glass, I received them intact and enjoyed them the very next day. They are CLASSIC martini/cocktail glasses. They are thick enough to not have to worry about breaking them while washing and the stem is sturdy. They are good quality and perfect for entertaining guests, or for just having them handy--you never know, and the price is a bargain at just a little more than $1.50 each. I highly recommend this product.

I had bought martini glasses from Ikea, but they were positively enormous (both wide and tall) and felt unstable in your hand. These are well-balanced, stable, and beautiful. They aren't such space-hogs in the cupboard and even fit in my dishwasher!

I thought the box they came in was perfectly adequate to store them--it's a very sturdy box. If you really want a china-storage-type box, they fit perfectly in the Household Essentials 542 balloon stemware box. Household Essentials 542 Glass-Stemware Storage Chest for Balloon-Style Stemware, Tan

Libbey makes terrific glassware. I've bought 3 different kinds of Libbey glasses now and I love them all.

I totally love these. None of them broke during shipping (a complaint from a review I read from someone else). They are a great size - on the smallish, but I think enormous martini glasses are tacky. These have a slightly roundish shape at the base that sets them apart - makes them look just a touch old fashioned and classy. very sturdy base. I love them all around!

The martini glasses I purchased were a great bargain for a party. They arrived 2 days after I ordered them.

I was worried after hearing about packaging issues and broken glasses, but mine came all intact. They're heavy and sturdy and a great price too - what's not to like?!

The product was just what I was looking for--simple martini glasses that serve a reasonable size martini (not a huge glass like most I'm finding these days). The vendor sent them quickly. My only complaint is that Libby does not pack them well for shipping. They all arrived intact, but I felt lucky for that because they are not well packed.

While they are a bit smaller than the martini glasses I ususally use, these martini glasses are the bargain way add a real "James Bond" look to a party. Get some sort of martini pick, plus martini olives or onions, and you and your guests will feel like rich playboy secret agent VIPs.

Excellent quality, excellent glass for parties...just the right size. The storage box is a plus for when the party is over. I would highly recommend to friends!
