I originally bought these glasses years ago from The Bon Marche (now Macy's). I bought them for guest use, but they have proven so durable, and dishwasher safe, that we now use them for normal family use. We purchased more because our former other brand glasses were breaking. They also come out sparkling from the dishwasher.

Everyone in our family made wonderful comments about the glasses. They make drinks more enjoyable by the way they feel in your hand and lips, as well as the way they look. They are not your ordinary glasses, especially because of the rounded-square shape, the thickness of the glass, which feels just right, and the heavier base that makes them more stable. I hope they still have them in the future, when we'll need to buy more.

These are the perfect glasses for our kitchen. The clean, sleek look of these glasses make them a very classy addition to our table. With their rounded-square shape, they remind us of what one may have enjoyed a mint julep from while sitting in the sun of the old south. I highly recommend them.

The glasses were appealing to the eye and easy to hold. They have a nice, heavy base. But, the rim is very thin---a little bumping and you have a chip on the rim. You have to be very careful when placing them in the dishwasher. They are very hard to hand wash because of the narrowness of the glass. Overall, pleased with the glasses. But, I don't know how long they will last. One glass has already been chipped???? Careful handling is the key issue.

These glasses are perfect. They take up so little room in my small kitchen. This the 2nd time I have bought some. the first time was in 1991. I couldn't believe they are still being manufactured. Hand wash only as the glass is prone to hazing from dishwasher.

These glasses are just lovely. They look very elegant, yet masculine on the table. I bought these for our son for Christmas to match a set of old fashioned glasses and shot glasses he already had. I hope to find more in the coming years.

I love these water glasses. After I lost most of mine in the '94 Northridge earthquake, I spent weeks searching online for replacements, with prices looming to $75 each! Finally I found them back for the holidays at the department store where I bought the first set. After 10 years, several had chips on the top from our exuberance in opening and closing the dishwasher. (They are lead-free blown crystalline. I enjoy thin edges when drinking; though, they are more delicate than "diner-style" drinkware!) We were thrilled to find them again at Amazon, where we bought a dozen more. Each one is a work of art. We've been seeing this design and one similar to it on more and more television shows.

I love the look of these glasses but I have to be very carefull while washing them because if the click together they will break. Having said that I love them so much I will definately be buying more to replace the broken ones.

We've had this set for over a year and they still look great. No problems in the dishwasher. Quite elegant. As a bonus, because of the shape, they take less room in the cabinet as they can stand close together.

We originally bought these glasses years ago from the Bon Marche, who quit carrying them. I was delighted to find them online! My daughters (4yrs and 8 yrs) love using the "fancy" glasses. I have found them to be quite durable for how delicate they look.
