Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Crisa Impressions 16 piece beverage set, item 1786426, clear
Customer Review: An easy repair
Summary: 5 Stars
July 2010: My original review fom 2 years ago appears below and I'm not changing a word. But others comments on breakage is so contraty to our experience that I felt I must add this note.
These are great every-day glasses, not prone to tipping & with a bit of class and not one has broken although my wife & I, both in our 70's, do tend to knock them about a bit. [We've both a touch of arthritus & find both the square profile and side indentations yield a secure grasp with our weakening Medium & Large size hands.]
BUT, I've had experience with such very thick bottomed glasses [which I've always favored, as being less 'tippy', especially when our sons were small]. Always keep in mind that they can respond badly to large temperature shocks.
We've no dishwasher & these are fine going from room temp to the hottest tap water that my hands can stand.
But never, NEVER, fill such a glass when still ice-water cold with hot water - the material on the sides expands at a different rate than does that on the bottom which can result in a visable crack part way around the glass near the base. While it seems to remain intact, it's a gonner.
At the sink, the problem usually doesn't arrise - I normally start the tap at warm, not hot, anyway, But during/after parties I've had to stop loading stuff in the sink, then running the tap at the hottest and letting everything soak while I "Partied-On".
BTW: I gave a 2nd set of these to my now-grown son & he reports no problems after 18 months.
Having seen them in a NYC shop [at twice the price as single pieces] they were just as I expected: an interesting shape that's non-tippy & fits the hand well with a good weight in the clear glass that I like.
A slight but sharp chip on the lip of one of the sixteen was easily smoothed out with some silicon-carbide sandpaper - a very handy tool-kit addition for the next time you're in a good hardware store.
Description of Crisa Impressions 16 piece beverage set, item 1786426, clear
The Impressions 16 piece beverage set contains 8 12 ounce DOF and 8 16 1/2 ounce coolers. The glassses feature an unique imprint pattern.Libbey's Impressions glasses have definite drink appeal. Let's start with their girth. The glasses have ample openings, so ice snuggles down nicely to provide lots of chilling surface for drinks. When it's time to give them a wash, a hand, sponge, or dishtowel fits easily, which is important when you want to present sparkling clean glassware to your guests; the glasses also do well in the dishwasher. Their heavy bottoms have a nice heft so they won't tip easily and give the impression that they were handblown. Four rounded depressions just above the base fit fingertips and make these glasses comfortable to hold. The two sizes in this dandy set accommodate just about any liquid out there: you can offer lucky guests everything from highballs to lemonade to bloody marys. This is the ideal glassware set for a bride and groom. --C. Whitney-Ward
