I took a while to decide as was looking for something a bit special, and kept being drawn back to these as the design was so lovely. I definitely made the right decision buying these, as they are gorgeous. Very high quality, a good solid glass, weight to it not thin like some can be, and more beautiful than I expected. Will be able to use for a good spirit and mixer, or small cocktails, and liqueurs especially with ice. Am now going to look at the rest of the range, as these are a stand out design, elegant, and step away from the typical crystal glass design. But then they are Italian crystal, and just the right size so the fill your hand when you lift it, but not too big. If you purchase these you will not be disappointed and for the price, just wow! Love them.
