Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Anchor Hocking Manchester 16-Piece Crystal Beverage Set
Customer Review: We've had these for about 15 years!
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought a set around 15 years ago (on sale for $15 at a store no longer in business), and we've finally lost enough of them to warrant purchasing a new set. They've also been scratched-up a bit; not bad enough for us to toss the set, but others may not have held onto these as long as we have because of it.
PROS:
1) They are STURDY...or at least they used to be made incredibly well.
2) Very attractive design. We still receive compliments on the style.
3) Thick, heavy glass with a nicely weighted bottom. They're tough to knock over, and usually survive the impact.
4) The etched areas allow for a secure grip; easy to hold even when soapy &/or wet.
5) The diameter is nice; neither tapered or overly wide. You can really tip these babies back without the opposite side hitting the bridge of your nose (consistent diameter, not tapered).
CONS:
1) The bottoms of the glasses are concave, allowing water to collect if placed upright in the dishwasher or a sink-side rack. Forgetting to either tip the glass in either case &/or not sopping-up the puddles before picking them up will result in something getting wet...the items still in the dishwasher, your clothing, the floor, countertop, &/or the bottom of the cupboard.
This was the only "con" I could come up with, but it's enough for me to consider purchasing a different set. If anyone knows of a set that shares all the Pros listed above, but without the concave bottom, please let me know...or buy it. ;)
