Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Libbey 16-Piece Imperial Glassware Set
Customer Review: Good glasses for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
Original review 11/6/09:
Like other reviewers, I was a little hesitant about possible breakage when I decided to purchase these glasses, but so far I've been pleased. It's only been about a month, but the way my husband and I pull glasses from the cabinet, it's always the same ones (in front) that are being used so these few glasses have gone through the dishwasher many times already.
Amazon's packaging was excellent and there was not a chip, ding, dent, or scratch on the glasses upon arrival.
The glasses have a good thick base (not necessarily level on the inside) and a decent thickness up top - I would say between 1/8-1/4" thick. One thing not stated in the product description (or any reviews that I recall) is that there is a very thin, faint line (seam) going up opposite sides of the glass from the molding. It's not a huge deal and many people might not even notice that they're there. It's less noticeable because of the design on the glasses; where two of the "star" (look into the glass and you'll see a four-pointed star) edges go up toward the top of the glass, that's where the seams will be. It's no big deal.
Overall, having spent less than $20 for a set of 16 glasses, I'm very pleased. My husband really likes the tall ones because they can hold more beverage than our previous glasses; I prefer the shorter "juice" glasses, so the set makes a great combination. They're very pretty glasses and (so far) I'm happy with the purchase.
EDIT 12/23/09:
Almost two months later, and still no scratches, chips, breakage, anything. It seems that as long as you know how to load a dishwasher properly, there should be no problems with the glasses being too fragile.
Description of Libbey 16-Piece Imperial Glassware Set
These pretty textured glasses can be dressed up or not. Always a glass with style. This set is perfect as a bridal registry set and makes a wonderful gift for someone setting up a household.Ideal for stylish entertaining, this set of 16 matching glasses equips a bar to serve many cold drinks, from Scotch on the rocks to mint juleps. The set consists of eight tall, 18-ounce cooler glasses and eight short, 13-ounce double old-fashioned glasses in Libbey's contemporary Imperial pattern. Made of medium-thick glass, the glasses have slender, raised flutings that rise from the four corners of the bases. The 6-3/4-inch cooler glasses measure 2-7/8 inches in diameter at the tops, flare in the middle, and taper slightly to 2-1/8 inches square at the bottoms. The 2-5/8-inch double old-fashioned glasses measure 3-1/2 inches in diameter at the tops, also flare in the middle, and taper slightly to 2-3/4 inches square at the bottoms. The glasses are durable and dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack
