I love these glasses! They were packed very well and are the perfect shape and size for lovely martinis. They are a little deeper than your average martini glass and therefore you (might) will not slosh your drink all over yourself everytime you pick the glass up to take a drink. (or is it only me who has this problem?)

Beautiful martini glasses - thin but sturdy glass, large and elegant. I purchased 24 (four boxes of six each) for a dinner party and they arrived without any damage. I used them for the first time yesterday, and it felt as if I were drinking from a much more expensive glass.

These are great glasses. The design is classic, clean, and unfettered. The glasses are sturdy, and they all arrived intact with a decent packing job. The price is reasonable, and they are manufactured in the USA (how rare is that!). I bought several different styles of glasses all from the Libbey Vina series (martini, red wine, white wine, champagne flutes, tall and short tumblers with a thick base), and I am very happy with all of them.

As far as martini glasses go, these are pretty much built like tanks. Big, strong, and sturdy. They are very stable and resist breaking.

Yet those qualities are ultimately what drag the glasses down.

With a 12 oz capacity, they're more bowl than glass. I have a very hefty pour in general, and I don't want to seem skimpy by pouring an 8 oz drink that only fills 3/4 of the glass. As a result, I'm pouring at least 10 oz and guests are getting hammered after only 2 martinis. 12 oz is eight shots of hard liquor. So while the extra capacity might seem like a benefit, it means you have to fill it all the way up.

Really thick, inexepensive glass keeps costs down and minimizes loss in the event of breakage, which won't be frequent anyway. But that makes the glasses heavy, clunky, and have very poor optical clarity.

I use them for serving food in. I served tuna ceviche in them the other day, and the guests all enjoyed the presentation afforded by the glasses.

Glasses are nice. They are a tad over sized but that keeps one from spilling drinks.

Great product. Well packed arrived in perfect condition.

The glasses are large so you may want to extend your cocktail recipes with the non-alcoholic part of the mix, that way your party will last longer!

Glasses shipped with plenty of cushioning, none broken. Glasses are beautiful style and size,and price perfect for what I am using them for. There is no special box like it says, but the price was awesome and that they come in sets of six.

Love these glasses! The basic design will fit into anyones decor, and the deep glass will prevent splillage...well, at the beginning of the evening anyways. My only qualm was having to return my first box as one glass was chipped due to poor packing...but with that said, within the next 2 days i received my new glasses in time for my party.

This is one set of Martini glass that I am going to buy again! Its grand sized. Looks pretty with the drinks. Thin rimmed enough so that you like your drink when you sip it. BUT more important is how sturdy it is. I packed these glasses in my suitcase when I moved to san diego. And not one crack in any one of them. 4 years and I still enjoy my dirty martini in these. Go for it. I absolutely recommend this

Received in two days (Amazon is wonderful) - purchased as a gift. Just what I wanted - right size for Martini's - haha
