I'm so happy with my new wine glasses, but I've totally gone overboard! My partner's on my case because we're out of room, even for our work tumblers. These beauties are brand new?I checked each one when I opened the box, just like the pictures show. They look a little shorter in the photos; they're actually really tall and slender, but surprisingly heavy. And hey, no microwaving or dishwashing?they're handmade and would totally shatter.
