| Like its namesake, 18th century poet Count Vittorio Alfieri, this unique set of four glasses creates an inspiring and lyrical statement at any occasion. Combining function and flair, the tumblers serve a variety of refreshments with sparkling sophistication, from mixed drinks for guests to soda water at the table. The squared shape features an optic effect offering a distinctive look that coordinates with other barware in the Alfieri line. Each lead-free blown crystal glass holds a substantial 12 ounces. For generations, the skillful designs of Luigi Bormioli glassworks showcase an array of patterns named after renown musicians and artists. Imported from Italy, the flawless quality and superior craftsmanship of this glassware is remarkably dishwasher-safe. --Roberta Cruger |

| This is a lovely glass, so lovely, in fact, that I ordered four more to replace some that have broken in use. I love the design so much that I am willing to put up with the frailty. However, one of the four glasses arrived chipped and the return policy states that I must return all four and pay shipping. I think not. I'll keep the three and look locally for another. The manufacturer's box is not sturdy enough for shipping and Amazon did not include any bubble wrap or peanuts for protection. Beware of this flaw in the return policy as it would cost more to ship all four back than the one glass is worth; and there is no guarantee that the future shipment would arrive in any better condition. |
| These glasses are very nice. They are heavy, so you are not afraid when you put them on the counter that they will break. They look very nice in our new kitchen! |
| The glasses are very nice. Sturdy and weighty. Excellant for mixed adult beverages |
The photo looks great. Misleading, tho...
Twelve ounces is totally wrong. Isn't 12 oz the size of a can of coke? If it fits six oz, I'd be surprised. They are smaller than they appear from the photographs, and since the volume is so misleading, I thought they would be larger glasses. Wrong!
One glass out of the twelve (three boxes of four) I ordered on special was chipped. Another broke in the dishwasher. They are quite fragile.
The good points, not very heavy for glassware. They do sparkle. I like the square bottom to round top design.

I ordered two boxes of these glasses. And I inspected them when I first opened the boxes, none of the glasses were cracked. But after light use, the glasses have started to show cracks where the glass begins to thin out at the top. They are beautiful looking but not durable.
Also doesn't handle thermal change well... if I could reduce this rating I would to a 2 star. I poured in some hot water and the entire glass shattered. |
