This is a beautiful set of glasses. The cobalt blue is intense. Though they are priced inexpensively the quality and experience drinking out of these glasses seems extraordinary.

The sizes provided in this set of glasses is a welcome addition to your table. At 4-1/2 inches tall holding 14-1/2 ounces and 6 inches tall holding 17 ounces, these two sizes are perfect for most beverages. Most sets provide you with three graduated sizes of 6 each and the smallest is always just a little too small. This set of 8 of each size acknowledges what most people need.

The feel and the weight of these glasses complement the intense color. They are thick enough so you have a comfortable rim to drink from. This thickness makes them a slightly heavier glass that feels really durable. Originally I was worried the top flare may make them more suseptible to tipping, however, this does not seem to be true. The combination of weight and flare seemed to be balanced enough to give you a stable glass.

At home my teenage children vie for who gets the blue glasses, so I know it isn't just me.

I bought these about 4 months ago, because they got good reviews, and I really liked the color. However, they have not held up at all. The first two that broke, I convinced myself that we were too rough with them. One by one they went though. We bought two sets, and have 5 glasses left. Is it possible to get a bad batch of glass? I would give them 5 stars if I bought them as disposable glasses.
If you own these, hold them up to the light, and you might discover cracks in yours too. They are not always easy to spot. And, sure they stack, but good luck getting them apart.
Glad I got them at a good price, or I would be disgruntled, rather than annoyed.

I bought these glasses because I needed some more drinking glasses when I entertained and had guests over. (Plus sometimes I ran out of something to drink out of before I ran the dishwasher).

These glasses were perfect. The glass is thick so it feels very comfortable to put to your lips and drink with. They are very easy to get clean without a lot of ridges to get dried stuff caught up in.

The color is very stylish and I have gotten a lot of comments on the cool glasses.

They are very much worth the price.

PS. They match perfectly if you are serving Skyy vodka or are drinking Skyy Blue drinks. It looks like you planned a whole bar set.

I bought these glasses about 4 months ago. I absoulty LOVE them! The color is rich and beautiful! I am a huge lover of anything cobalt and these are just perfect with my dish sets!These glasses are weighted very well, have nice thick rims that feel wonderful to the mouth when you drink. These glasses are a steal at this price! You will love them!!! I do!!!

We bought a set of these because we have anumber of friendds who lend us time and effort with the new cabin in the woods. So when they show up and help with yardwork or doing the clapboard cedarshakes on the cabin, they brave the heat and the bugs. To show them how much we appreciate it, we make sure they are plied with plenty of lemonade or springwater, and giving it to them in a glass like this is the way to go. The glasses speak of quiet elegance, and is not what anyone roughing it expects. But everyone is also careful not to scratch or break them.

That said, these glasses have a hefty and substantial feel to them, are also dishwasher-safe, and are nice and hefty in one's hand. The smaller double old-fashioned glass is 4-1/2 inches tall and holds 12 ounces of fluid with ice, and the taller "cooler" glass is 6 inches tall and will hold sixteen ounces of beverage with ice. The glasses are a very deep blue, and are very attractive and distinctive. We really enjoy them, and they have been sturdy enough to last us the better part of year undamaged. We highly recommend them. Enjoy!

This glassware is great. Stable with a thick base but not quite as thick or heavy as similar clear glasses. I have used these for years and they hold up well, having been washed in the dishwasher hundreds of times. The short glasses hold almost as much as the tall ones, so the choice of which to use is mostly your choice.

We received this set of glasses just recently and are so very pleased with them. They are a beautiful shade of cobalt blue, just the right weight to be comfortable to hold, and wash in the dishwasher beautifully! No complaints, whatsoever! One of the many nice features is that the glasses are completely appropriate for company dropping by or just for your family's daily use. Really pretty glasses! Very glad we bought them!

Not only are these glasses utilitarian yet aestheticly pleasing, they are also functional. They have saved a great deal of space in my small apartment kitchen because they are stackable. By stacking them two or three high in my cabinet, I've been able to reclaim a lot of valuable space.

I had cobalt blue glasses in mind for my next set... Libbey is an excellent brand that I've trusted for a long time. Well, the glasses are terrific! They are durable glass, yet beautiful, not barware. The blue is exquisite and does not scratch. They are truly blue glass...

Don't expect these to be packaged very well. The box of glasses was placed in a slightly larger box and some bubble wrap was shoved beside the box on one side to keep it from shifting. It seems they have never shipped anything with the United States Postal Service before...

Anyways, due to poor packaging, and the usual from the post office, I am the proud owner of some very pretty broken glass. I'll give two stars because the pieces were a lovely shade of blue.

The item says it's from Target, so I'm going to see about ordering this at a Target so I can just pick it up at the store.
