Beautiful & Substantial

If you are looking for "fine and delicate" skip these. Personally for serving cocktails at my house, I want something that can go in the dishwasher and if I accidentally drop it it's not going to shatter into a million pieces. These are heavy enough that if I'm hand washing them I don't have to worry about them breaking apart either. I love the beautiful etching on the outside. They are absolutely sturdy for keeping in the freezer so that your coupe glass is ice cold waiting for the cocktail. I've used these glasses for over a year now and they were one of the best buys I've had. I returned a more expensive version made by the same company because they were simply too delicate and I knew that even when I was hand washing them, I was in danger of them breaking.

Perfect for a manhattan

I wish I could show you the great photos I took of a Manhattan in this pretty, sturdy glass, and show you the impressive packaging with the little backstory, black and white glossy photo of the “thin man” actors, and cocktail recipes. Unfortunately I can’t because Amazon is not allowing me to add new photos to my gallery. It allowed me to add photos for another item I reviewed two minutes ago, and it has decided that those are the only photos that can be in its gallery. Amazon, please take note and fix this issue! Anyway, it’s pretty, does have visible seams which make me think they should cost less than $18 each, fortunately not very noticeable, and truly measures 5.5 ounces. When you open the box, it’s filled with foam popcorn under which you will find the two glasses, wrapped in bubble wrap. If I had bought these as a gift for someone else, I would remove all that and rewrap the glasses in nice tissue, with extra tissue for padding, and it would be quite a nice presentation.
