Libbey 16-Piece Colbalt Flare Glassware Set

The sizes provided in this set of glasses is a welcome addition to your table. At 4-1/2 inches tall holding 14-1/2 ounces and 6 inches tall holding 17 ounces, these two sizes are perfect for most beverages. Most sets provide you with three graduated sizes of 6 each and the smallest is always just a little too small. This set of 8 of each size acknowledges what most people need.

The feel and the weight of these glasses complement the intense color. They are thick enough so you have a comfortable rim to drink from. This thickness makes them a slightly heavier glass that feels really durable. Originally I was worried the top flare may make them more suseptible to tipping, however, this does not seem to be true. The combination of weight and flare seemed to be balanced enough to give you a stable glass.

At home my teenage children vie for who gets the blue glasses, so I know it isn't just me.


Nice to look at, but not durable!   December 1, 2002

I bought these about 4 months ago, because they got good reviews, and I really liked the color. However, they have not held up at all. The first two that broke, I convinced myself that we were too rough with them. One by one they went though. We bought two sets, and have 5 glasses left. Is it possible to get a bad batch of glass? I would give them 5 stars if I bought them as disposable glasses.
If you own these, hold them up to the light, and you might discover cracks in yours too. They are not always easy to spot. And, sure they stack, but good luck getting them apart.
Glad I got them at a good price, or I would be disgruntled, rather than annoyed.


These are great glasses, stylish yet simple and to the point   September 15, 2002

I bought these glasses because I needed some more drinking glasses when I entertained and had guests over. (Plus sometimes I ran out of something to drink out of before I ran the dishwasher).

These glasses were perfect. The glass is thick so it feels very comfortable to put to your lips and drink with. They are very easy to get clean without a lot of ridges to get dried stuff caught up in.

The color is very stylish and I have gotten a lot of comments on the cool glasses.

They are very much worth the price.

PS. They match perfectly if you are serving Skyy vodka or are drinking Skyy Blue drinks. It looks like you planned a whole bar set.

Handy Set For Anyone Not Really Roughing It!   July 14, 2002

We bought a set of these because we have anumber of friendds who lend us time and effort with the new cabin in the woods. So when they show up and help with yardwork or doing the clapboard cedarshakes on the cabin, they brave the heat and the bugs. To show them how much we appreciate it, we make sure they are plied with plenty of lemonade or springwater, and giving it to them in a glass like this is the way to go. The glasses speak of quiet elegance, and is not what anyone roughing it expects. But everyone is also careful not to scratch or break them.

That said, these glasses have a hefty and substantial feel to them, are also dishwasher-safe, and are nice and hefty in one's hand. The smaller double old-fashioned glass is 4-1/2 inches tall and holds 12 ounces of fluid with ice, and the taller "cooler" glass is 6 inches tall and will hold sixteen ounces of beverage with ice. The glasses are a very deep blue, and are very attractive and distinctive. We really enjoy them, and they have been sturdy enough to last us the better part of year undamaged. We highly recommend them. Enjoy!
