Intriguing If slightly Odd Form, July 14, 2010
This review is from: Luigi Bormioli Strauss 13-1/2-ounce Beverage, Set of 4 (Kitchen)
I bought these to go with the 12oz Old Fashond glasses, also of the Strauss line; but these are so narrow [2.5" / side max] as to make the pair look like Mutt & Jeff. It stands at just over 6.5" but somehow, even with it's thick base, it somehow doesn't 'look' quite stable, making it really quite different from its 'mate'.
If you find the accompaning illustration a bit confusing, I'd suggest that the yellow liquid makes the shape seem wider than it is. The "Red" in the middle matches what I 'see' while the wider-seeming 'Red' at the right is probably a diagonal rather than side-on view of this squarish cross-sectioned glass.
Without a dishwasher, cleaning the interiors of such narrow & tall items will be an annoyance.
On the other hand, "She Who Must Be Obeyed" [who was hesitant about the purchase] really likes these and their mate and, as I've said, I do find them somehow intriguing. ANd they do have a 'Quality' feel to them

Love these glasses, December 9, 2009
This review is from: Luigi Bormioli Strauss 13-1/2-ounce Beverage, Set of 4 (Kitchen)
I just ordered a set of these to go along with an identical set I bought about a year ago (also through Amazon.com). I love these glasses. They are attractive and simple with a nice heft in your hand. Unlike the other reviewer, I have had no problem with them breaking easily. My original set is still intact; I just wanted another four.

Attractive and practical, June 6, 2011
This review is from: Luigi Bormioli Strauss 13-1/2-ounce Beverage, Set of 4 (Kitchen)
They look and feel well-made and they're comfortable to hold. I like them so much that I went and bought extras so I won't have to buy a different set if I break a few glasses and they stop making these.
Bonus - Square glasses pack in well on the top rack of the dishwasher.
