Fulfilling the aesthetic tradition of its namesake, this set of six double old fashioned glasses in the Michelangelo Masterpiece line make a tasteful appearance at any occasion. Fill with sparkling water at an elegant table or with tall mixed drinks when entertaining guests, as well as any array of everyday beverages. These versatile tumblers serve a satisfying 12 ounces of refreshments with functional flair. Blown from pure lead-free crystal, the slightly curved shape with bold base complements barware from this collection. For generations the skillful creativity of Luigi Bormioli patterns, named after renowned musicians and artists, offers flawless quality and superior craftsmanship. Imported from Italy, this refined glassware is also dishwasher-safe. --Roberta Cruger

This review is from: Luigi Bormioli Michelangelo Masterpiece 12-1/2-Ounce Double Old Fashioned Glasses, Set of 6 (Kitchen)

First off, this is the best deal I've found on these glasses. In the store, the closest I could find in price was for only a set of 4 glasses and didn't cost any less.

I've liked them a lot so far. The curve of the glass holds the smell of whatever you are drinking a bit longer so if you do want to savor that part of the drink, these are great. Be careful when pouring a whisky or other such drink because the "fumes" can catch you off guard if you aren't expecting it. My only other change would be to make them just a bit heavier.

Otherwise, they look great and feel great and the glass is a good quality. For the price, you can't go wrong.

I have used several sizes of Michelangelo glasses for some time. They are sturdy enough for every day, but dressy enough for company. They feel good in the hand and don't cost too much. What's not to like!

This review is from: Luigi Bormioli Michelangelo Masterpiece 12-1/2-Ounce Double Old Fashioned Glasses, Set of 6 (Kitchen)

These glasses are very elegant, with clean lines and a thin yet strong rim. Well balanced, the glasses feel substantial in the hand while maintaining a delicate appearance. The glass itself is beautiful and clear, with the taper of the glass creating a subtly striped refractive pattern when viewed from certain angles. The base of each glass bulges out ever so slightly, as if the glass were set down while still barely molten.

These glasses fit nicely in the hand. The weighted bottom provides a nice feel, and because it is flat rather than cupped, water does not pool in it after the dishwasher has drained. All in all, these are excellent glasses.
