Amazon.com Review

Riedel continues to impress the wine world with its innovative designs. The Tyrol line, released in 2007, adopts an intermediary position between the completely stemless O wine tumblers that set a national trend and Riedel's long-stemmed, more fragile beauties. Each Tyrol glass features a short stem, more of a foot really, that is half of a solid sphere, lending great stability and reducing breakage worries. Crafted in Bavaria of sparkling leaded crystal yet dishwasher-safe, Tyrol is perfect for a casual, more contemporary approach to fine dining at home.

This set includes two Tyrol dessert glasses, each a wide bowl shape measuring 2-7/8 inches in height and holding a maximum capacity of eight ounces. The versatile glasses suit not only sorbet, fresh berries with cream, or crab cocktail, but are delightful for sipping a margarita or martini. The pair makes an excellent gift. Out of a long 250-year history, the renowned Riedel glass company has been based in the Austrian state of Tyrol for 50 years now, hence the commemorative name of the new collection. --Ann Bieri

Product Description

Casual and elegant, this Riedel dessert glass is part of a brand new glass series introduced in Spring 2007. This glass stands on a solid half sphere, offering amazing light reflection. The Tyrol series is made of lead crystal, which lends itself to a solid base with great stability, while giving it never ending sparkle. The name Tyrol commemorates the Riedel Family's new beginning 50 years ago in Austria in the federal state of Tyrol. These glasses come in a set of 2 and are perfect for serving shrimp cocktail, sherbets, ice cream or any desserts.
