Product Description
Appealing in their simplicity and symmetry, this set of 16 glasses contributes both practicality and style to any drinkware collection. The glasses feature heavy, 1-inch-thick bases that impart substance and stability for durable use from one meal or occasion to the next, while their unique, rounded shape creates a clean and contemporary appearance. Distinguished by a crystal-clear finish that beautifully showcases their contents, the glasses make a handsome accompaniment to freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, soft drinks, iced tea, and other beverages. Plus, their neutral appearance means they layer tastefully with dinnerware pieces of all colors and shapes. Casual enough for kid-friendly meals and family dinners, yet refined enough to set out for cocktail parties or formal occasions, the versatile glasses move easily from the kitchen cupboard or the china hutch to an in-home bar or backyard picnic. Dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup, the 16-piece set includes eight 16-1/4-ounce glasses measuring approximately 2-3/4 by 2-3/4 by 6-1/2 inches and eight 12-1/4-ounce tumblers measuring approximately 3 by 3 by 4 inches. A Contemporary glass part of our new heavy base collection. The glasses have a rounded heavy base that is 1-inch thick. It creates a clean contemporary look. The heavy base is rich looking. Large capacity is also a bonus with these glasses.

 Very happy with the glasses July 19, 2010
Angela Chang
These glasses are very high quality at a very good price. The bottom is nice and heavy. The rims are even. The wash nicely in a dishwasher or by hand. We've used them for a few months now and they really hold up to daily dishwasher treatment without getting scratches. Our guests have commented on how nice the glasses are.
 Very Nice July 10, 2010

For an inexpensive set this comes out quite nicely. Love the feel and weight. Also great that the bottom is rounded and does not collect water in the dishwasher.
 Nice but fragile June 3, 2010
A. Evans (Aniak, AK United States)
I like the weight and balance of these glasses, however, they are extremely fragile. One arrived broken in the box, packaging was very poor. There was nothing to protect the glass from impact except thin cardboard dividers. I would prefer to buy these directly from the store. I do not know how they would behave in a dishwasher, but too many "klinks" causes breakage.
 glasses break spontaneously after 6 months April 20, 2010
T Livett (Northfield, MN United States)
First, I'm not sure how many of these reviews are long-term or if we just got a "bad batch" of glasses. My initial reaction was that the cups were nice for the money. They are pretty obviously not great glasses, but considering the price, it was alright.
Now that we've had the cups for over 7 months, I'm complaining. Over the past 2 weeks, glasses have been mysteriously breaking left and right. We had a full set 2 weeks over and now are down to only 2 of our 8 tall glasses remaining and have lost a few of the small cups too. They're fine going into the dishwasher, then come out broken. Considering nothing has changed since we got the cups, it's like they've reached their life expectancy. To clarify, NONE of these broken cups were dropped/knocked over -- a few times, we'd simply put a glass down on a table or in the dishwasher and it just breaks.
Today and yesterday, I picked up 2 unbroken glasses and they each broke in my hands, leaving me holding a giant shard of glass with the other half of the cups on the table or in the sink. I'm a petite person and it's not like I've been working out. Currently, we have 4 broken glasses sitting on the kitchen island all from this week. Ridiculous.
Again, I'm not sure if it was just a defective batch, but I certainly don't plan on re-ordering.
good for the price April 13, 2010
J Harmon (Santa Clara, CA USA)
I bought these for everyday use. They were a recommendation from Amazon, but when I saw they were at Target , I went and bought them to avoid breakage during shipping. (Our UPS guy literally throws packages.)I wanted something plain,simple,and fairly sturdy. They look nice with my everyday Corelle dishes.
