Bormioli Rocco Essential Decor Glassware – Set Of 12 Mini 7.5 Ounce Drinking Glasses For Water, Beverages ,Cocktails & Candle Holders – 7.5oz Clear Tempered Glass Tumblers

If you were the kind of person who looks at this product and thinks, “huh, I wonder why anyone cares that they are made out of tempered glass“, then just keep looking. I’m sure that somewhere on Amazon you can find beautifully delicate water glasses that have been spun from the tears of kittens. If, on the other hand, you live in the kind of household where the treatment of your glassware violates the terms of the Geneva Convention, then these are the glasses for you. I would like to say that we are this latter kind of household, though I’m not actually sure if anybody else in the house contributes to the regular shattering of water and wine glasses, or if I have accomplished that all by myself. Suffice it to say that by the end of last summer, I was staring at the usual mishmash of mismatched glasses that results from me purchasing and smashing several different sets of glasses, mostly from IKEA and Target, over the course of several years. Then it occurred to me that maybe modern science, while it has failed to deliver cheap renewable energy or a cure for the common cold, may have solved this particular problem. I checked out the various tempered glass options on Amazon, and picked these out for their very plain lines. I ordered the larger size as well. I was very happy with this purchase from the moment we unboxed them. The small and large glasses nest beautifully, so we have freed up 2/3 of our glass shelf because the glasses fit together now. The glasses themselves look very nice, feel like they are good quality, fit nicely in your hand, and most important, have really decent capacity. Even the smaller glasses, well they look petite, actually fit the equivalent of a standard water glass. The larger size are downright generous. The only drawback is that they have a slightly rounded drinking edge, which I do not love the feel of… I prefer a glass with a very straight flat edge. But it doesn’t really bother me. Despite my enthusiasm, I held back on writing a review, because it seemed to me that the real test of these glasses was whether they could survive a month in my possession. They made it through the first month without a single break, but I thought, hey, maybe I’ve been on my best behavior for the new glasses… You know, to impress them. Somewhere in the middle of month to (you know, once you’ve settled in and you’re no longer on your best behavior) I knocked one of these babies off the coffee table in the kind of scenario that has brought a messy end to many a water glass. I momentarily braced for the sound of shattering and the next hour of cleanup and vacuuming, but miracle of miracles they practically bounced off our wooden floor. I was wowed. But I really fell in love on the day that I hurled one of these glasses off the kitchen counter and across our dining room. No, I wasn’t mad at my husband or anything; I am just that clumsy. (I told you, it is not a fun thing to be a water glass in my home.). Anyhow, I thought that for sure this thing was going to smash, because how the heck can a glass fly 6 feet across a room and land on the wooden floor and survive to tell the tale? Well, let me assure you that while I have not actually overheard the glass talking to any of the other glasses about its harrowing journey across the dining room, I can nonetheless say it survived its stunt. Amazing! I highly recommend these glasses to anyone who is clumsy or has children, or God forbid (as in the case of our home) both. These are the glasses that can solve the mismatched glassware nightmare once and for all. UPDATE: We did it!!! It took ten months, but we finally broke our first glass. And by "we" I mean my husband, though I can hardly point fingers when the only reason he broke the glass is because I was busy pretending that the sink was NOT full of dirty dishes. But he dropped our Bormioli water glass....onto the rim of a Duralex tempered glass bowl. In the battle of Duralex bowl vs Bormioli glass, the Duralex bowl won, and the glass broke. Make of this what you will.

These are, by far, the best glasses I've ever bought. I love the look of the swirl design. Very stylish. They hold 17 oz of any kind of fluid be it water or tea or a cocktail which is a perfect amount. I haven't had an issue with any breaking (knock wood) so their durable. Weight is just right to hold in one's hand.

I was looking for glasses that were plain easy to handle and not too big for our church fellowship. They were perfect and the price was affordable.

These glasses are simple, but beautiful with a little swirl. Visually exciting. They feel thin, but I dropped one and it bounced in the sink and did not break.

Missing a whole glass? Other than that, they are great Wonderful weight Good touch Beautiful Just missing a whole glass Nothing broke, simply gone

I bought two sets each of all three sizes. I've been trying to get my family off plastic cups for years and I’ve finally done it. Big family meals like Thanksgiving will now be a little classier. The smallest size works great for juice, snacks, small cups of yogurt and even for ingredients when I’m prepping a meal. The medium is our go to water glass, everyday drinks and old fashioneds. The largest is perfect for iced coffees, beer and mixed drinks. A couple were broken during shipping. Good thing I got a lot. Be careful stacking. The largest size is really too heavy to stack because they compress together too tightly. I broke one trying to pull them apart. You probably don’t want to stack more than two of the middle size. With the smallest, you can safely stack three. I had to adjust the spacing on my shelves to make it work. Thin but not too thin. Holds nicely in my hand. Very happy overall with this purchase.

Very happy with the look and feel of these glasses. But, they are definitely not 17oz. I used two different measuring cups and both show the glasses to be 16oz to the very tippy top of the rim. Frustrated because I was really looking for a glass that could actually hold close to 16oz. Then I checked to see if it could be because European ounce is smaller than US ounce and it turns out the Imperial Ounce is slightly less (.96) , but that still doesn't make up for the difference I'm measuring. I really like the look and feel (not too heavy or thick) of the glasses, so going to keep. Update 6 weeks later: Absolutely LOVE these glasses. They aren't super thick (which I like, especially at the rim) but are plenty sturdy. I have smaller hands and they are more comfortable than some larger ones, yet my husband and sons also say they really like them. Wish I had discovered them years ago! I've got several types of glasses/cups and now use these exclusively. Looking forward to clearing out the cabinet, getting rid of a ton of plastic tumblers.

We have had these for a little over a month, and they are well loved. The medium size is great for little hands, but enough for grown ups as well. Several glasses have been dropped and not a break yet, or so much as even a scratch. Easy to clean, easy to love!

I LOVE these glasses - they are really large, but don’t feel heavy and clunky. They’re thin but not too delicate. As someone who drinks water all day long, I was fed up with refilling small glasses constantly. I then tried using water bottles but hated the hassle of cleaning those. Finally I have found the perfect water glass, and very reasonably priced - I’m so happy!

Bonne qualité, bonne contenance pour des verrines entrée ou dessert ou comme verre pour l’eau, j’ai déjà fait les 3 utilisations, impeccable

気に入って使っています。少々落としても割れません。3ヶ使っていますが未だ破損無しです。

Let op! Het zijn best kleine glazen, maar de productbeschrijving klopte precies. Mooie waterglazen op je feestelijke tafel. Het zijn geen stapelglazen, maar 3 op elkaar gaat lukken.

Li avevo ordinati con l'intenzione di farci delle moniporzioni di tiramisù. Il mio unico timore era che potessero essere troppo bassi, invece devo dire che sono perfetti, sia di diametro che di altezza (sono riuscita a fare la mia consueta stratificazione di (1)crema - (2)savoirdo - (3)crema - (4)savoiardo - (5)crema con spolverata di cacao, proprio come faccio nelle pirofile normali). Arrivati puntualissimi ed imballati molto bene. Due bicchierini hanno una piccola parte sul bordo leggermente irregolare, difetto sul quale io soprasseduto perché d'altronde li ho pagati €1,07 cadauno. In conclusione posso dire che comunque li consiglio per qualità prezzo e perché vengono delle porzioncine davvero carine!
