Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mikasa Cheers Stemless Balloon Glasses, Set of 4
Customer Review: Complete junk compared to Cheers glasses with stems
Summary: 1 Stars
Both the balloon goblet and white wine style of these glasses with stems are great, high quality items. The detail is deep and consistent. Guests frequently comment favorably on them since they are so distinctive
We had a visitor who broke several of the stemmed glasses so I ordered replacements and also a box of the stemless balloon goblets and two of the stemless white wine goblets, which looked more modern and less breakable for the next time our clumsy guest visits. The stemless versions look and feel cheap. The weight of each of the four glasses in the set varies considerably. The detail is not deep and is inconsistent like they had waited too long to replace the grinding tools. The detail is barely ground into the glass and there are actual gaps in the one with the stripes. In contrast the detail on the stemmed version is deep and looks great.
One glass looked like they overheated the rim during manufacturing and it slumped inward. There are bubbles in the glass and one had a scrape mark on the side. These things would not be acceptable as seconds and I had paid full price (well, Amazon full price).
I checked the bottom of the glasses and that told the story. The good quality stemmed glasses are made in Slovakia. The stemless versions are from China and look like Mikasa took the low bidder and never did quality checks.
I'm really disappointed because I like the stem version so much. All together I have purchased seven boxes and all had consistently high quality.
If you go for the stemmed version watch for the 4 for 3 promotion. That will give you twelve glasses plus four free spares for when your aunt comes to visit.
Description of Mikasa Cheers Stemless Balloon Glasses, Set of 4
Cheers is ARC's best selling barwar collection. The set of 4 stemless balloon wine glasses with assorted cuts is a great addition to the collection.These four balloon glasses are exactly like the Cheers stemmed version only without the stems. Nearly spherical and pleasing to cradle in the hand, each is made of clear glass and is etched with a different design, helpful for distinguishing one guest's Pinot Noir from another's Cabernet Sauvignon. An enveloping swirl, dots rising like bubbles, horizontal pinstripes, and vertical lines all add up to a party atmosphere. Generously sized for allowing red wines to breathe, the balloons also work well for juice, seltzer water, and cocktails, and come boxed for giving at any time of year. Though dishwasher-safe, Mikasa recommends washing the delicate glassware by hand. The extensive Cheers glassware collection includes wine carafes and cocktail pitchers, and glasses for martinis, pilsner, red and white wine, highballs, and more. --Ann Bieri
