Pfatlzgraff's Summer Breeze Cooler glasses are absolutley fabulous! The transparant blue glass subtley accented by etched leaves makes them visually stunning. They are a perfect compliment to the Summer Breeze place setting.

Besides being pretty, these glasses are practicle. I love big drinking glasses and the Cooler's are huge! Twenty-four Ounces! However, don't let the size fool you. They are very comfortable to hold, even with small hands. The tappered bottom is ergonomically desinged and results in a well-balanced glass.

Pfaltzgraf is synonomus with quality, but it is reassuring to know that you will be able to replace individual glasses for years to come if one should break. All of these attributes come at a magnificant price as well. I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a set of four 24 oz. glasses for less then $25.00 by any manufaturer, especially a brand name.

The only negative is that they are hard to find as most retailers have sold out.

This is a follow up review. I have had these glasses for 17 months now. I have lost two in a very odd way. On two separate occasions when the glasses were at room temperature, while filling with water from the dispenser on my refrigerator, POP! a crack appeared through the center of the thick portion of the base of the glass (it does not go up the sides though). Both times it has always been in the exact same place through the bottom portion of the glass? You actually here the pop noise of the crack as it happens. The glasses were not hot so it was not from thermal shock. It is frustrating to loose a glass just because your doing what the glasses were designed to do, hold cold liquid. Still, I do love these glasses. They are attractive and wash up nicely. Also, it's very hard to find a drinking glass in a 24 oz size. My husband likes these glasses for his iced tea and I am sure he will want me to buy more if the inventory goes any lower. Amazon was very helpful in getting these replaced and the customer service at Pfaltzgraff was generous and conscientious beyond belief. When the first glass cracked, I let it go, when the second glass cracked, I contacted Amazon. It had been less than a year. They contacted Pfaltzgraff who in turn sent me two new glasses with their apologies. I was so impressed by that. Also, something that concerned me, the new glasses were heavier and felt of an even better quality than the originals. Never the less, the experience was enough to make me a customer of Pfaltzgraff for life, if nothing else.

These are elegant high quality glasses, but I feel they have a couple negatives to their design. Watch it when loading and unloading them in the dish washer as when they are bottom up, and/or wet, they are very hard to handle. They are also a little big for the small hand to hold. My husband with his large hands has no problem. I use two hands to hold them as they are almost to big for me. I prefered the Pfaltzgraff 20 oz. Maison blue glasses.

These glasses are the most gorgeous blue color and compliment the Summer Breeze series so beautifully. Unfortunately, their size and shape makes them awkward and hard to handle unless you have Shaq O'Neill hands!!!

They are hard to load and unload in the dishwasher, having almost dropped them many times. I do not have small hands, medium to large actually for a lady.

I do love the glasses just wish they were maybe a 12 ounce size.

These glasses have beautiful etching and are large. Perfect for a glass of sweet tea on a hot summer's day!
