I’m visiting a friend oversees shortly and I got this set awa the wine holder that matches. And the whole set looks so cute together. I’m excited for her to get it. Everything I’ve bought from Sisterly has been fantastic, I know she love it just the same.
These martini glasses are so very stylish! The pattern in the glass is really pretty and unique. The size and height of them is standard for a martini. I do really appreciate how lightweight the glasses are, which makes them feel very dainty. I think as long as we are careful, they seem to be fairly durable.
I believe they truly are crystal. They are lightweight and very beautiful with a nice pattern. Maybe medium size martini glass not as large as some. For the price, hmmm...not sure. They are a nice addition to my bar and will be beautiful on display. It does come with a nice box to house them in. But why not show them off with their intricate design.
We started drinking expresso martinis but at up to $15 per drink, we decided to make these at home. But we don't have any martini glasses so we ordered these crystal glasses.
The reason I say crystal like is because per the description, this is lead free crystal. That's an oxymoron because real crystal contains at least 24% lead, which makes it heavier, gives a distinctive bell like sound when tapped, and has a rainbow like imagine when held up to light. I Googled this info ??. I'm not a crystal expert but this does produce a nice sound when tapped but no rainbow to light. It is heavy but not very heavy.
Having said that, the glasses are big and looks beautiful, with spirals that are supposed to arrogate the drink. Also, really crystal maybe leech into the drink affecting the taste and might have health consequences.
