I have been using these goblets since the Fall of 2002. Their performance is beyond industry standards. They are very sturdy and create an exquiste sound when a bottle cap bounces off the rim. The wide mouth design and capacity for 17-ounces of pure enjoyment; enables customers to consume a larger amount of liquids than other goblets on the market.

Other known advantages:
Dishwasher safe.
Made in the U.S. of A.

These are Gamma Chapter Sanctioned Goblets for use in Caps.

I needed a large set of bigger glasses to have on hand for family get togethers. These are fun, practical, and make any beverage look good. I liked them so much I bought a second set for my sister-in-law to use for her smoothies.

I bought these goblets for use with my silver and china. They are elegant for fine dining but will go into the dishwasher. Very good quality. I love them. They look good in the china cabinet too.

I had been looking for months for some kitchen glasses that weren't flimsy or ugly, and I can say with certainty that these Libbey glasses are great!! Over the years I have purchased glasses from Target, Walmart, and other stores, only to be dissappointed by how breakable they are. I cannot tell you how many glasses I have chipped or broken... Too many! These glasses are clearly a cut above the usual consumer grade drinking glasses. Yes, they are heavy, but I don't feel like I am going to break them if I accidentally knock up against them. I have already dropped one while unloading my dishwasher, and was pleasantly surprised to see that not only it hadn't broken, but it didn't even have a scratch on it. My husband, who usually drinks beverages out of a canning jar, even likes to use these glasses because of how durable they feel. The mouth of the glass is nice and wide, they are very comfortable to hold and drink out of, they hold a lot of liquid, the pedestal is good and thick, and the base is sturdy. I HIGHLY recommend them!!!

I bought this glass for everyday use. They are a bit "heavy" but are easy to grip anywhere on the glass, especiall around the botton and the stem if you have small hands or a weak grip. They are sturdy and durable. Fit on the top shelf of my dishwasher. The 17 oz is with out ice. I would by them again.

My husband loves ice tea but most glasses don't hold enough liqid to make him happy so I usually put his into a mason jar and I use nicer glasses. This way we both have nice glasses and it keeps him happy. I love the heft of these.

We received these as a wedding gift and they were much bigger than I expected. They are absolutely gorgeous and my husband and I use them on a daily basis, not just for fancy events. They are solid and quality and have even survived being dropped in the sink and on carpet. I love drinking from these every single day.

I was concerned the first time I washed them in the dishwasher that they wouldn't fit (being too tall) on the top rack. With ours, at least, they need to sit upright and flat; they can't be wedged in on the spike holders. They all fit though, making these absolutely perfect for us.

VERY happy with this product.

These Goblets are second to none. Professionally crafted to withstand accidental n00b/girl drunken knock overs. However, breaking may occur during the most extreme Cookie Monster situations.

The beautiful sound it makes whenever a bink or a splash occurs is comparable only to the voice of Celine Dion.

The size is perfect for 12 oz Natural Lites and leaves just enough room for the sloppy pourers who manifest foam at the top.

Even if you are on the losing team, these goblets are so fashion friendly that slow drinkers can hang onto them while they chat it up with friends....until the next game.

Also recommended:
- 24 pack of Natural Lites
- 6 pack of New Castle (For the Bottle Caps -Perfect weight and aerodynamics)
- Measuring Tape (8 Feet is recommended distance of the PCA)
- 2 Plastic Trays (Borrow from McDonalds, Taco Bell, any fine fast food establishments)
- 2 Shot Glasses (In case a skunk occurs)

I've had these several months and none are broken! Very heavy. They aren't super nice--they're plain glass, not crystal, but slightly nicer than your average daily use glass because of the goblet style. They look kind of like ice cream sundae cups.

So lucky to be able to find these and add them to my tableware. These are generous and sturdy, but I would recommend hand washing if you have water that tends to leave mineral deposits. This is my second set and you can believe I will hand wash and dry them rather than use the dishwasher. Beautiful pattern.
