Tessa Glasses

Small, thin & beautiful. Strolling through the 0ld Crate over the weekend, we found a new drinking glass design that we promptly bought for the office (but would be even nicer at home): Tessa glasses. We think they'd be great with water or wine...

This new fluted design is particularly nice in the smaller, juice glass size, and the only problem is that we found a number had chipped edges (the glass is thin, thin, thin) at the store, so some care is recommended.

If they already have chipped edges in the store, they wouldn't last 5 minutes in my apartment!

these are very pretty, but I agree with cat--the only drinking glasses that I'll buy any more need to be all but bomb-proof.
I recommend these :

they're reasonably priced, stack well (great for small cabinets), and have survived 4-ft drops onto wood floors.

Max,

Is the glass per se light in weight? I have been looking at light highball glasses for almost a year. I have these blue glass highball that are heavy and I am tired of them. Not to mention that I broke #4, so have 3 left. I either want full sets, or sets that are completely missmatched. So I would love to find something that every glass has a different design, so we know which glass is who's - I am avoiding making silly faces when by mistake I drink the sparkling water from my husband's glass (flat water here only :-)
I liked very much some thin thin glasses made in Italy at ABC home, but at a $40 a pop, it's too much. Don;t you think?

JR - You and I are so on the same wavelength!

I have those exact same CB glasses. They have lasted a couple years now, which is a record for me!

I like these ring glasses...

Chinatown glasses here... if they didn't break or chip there, they can survive about a year of me ;-)

After moving, first order of business was to chip/break everything in his kitchen. Within about a month, all fragile things disappeared.

Although thin glass looks so very elegant! *sigh*
