RiedelExtreme Martini

Super elegant glasses. They are quite delicate and have a wonderful feel. Though it says they are dishwasher safe, I had one shatter in my dishwasher. Hand washing is highly recommended.

We like the design of the glass overall and especially the lip of the glass. The lip design reduces the chance of spillage when delivering the Martini. Also very elegant appearance.

Fine quality glasses with broad base and slightly up-turned edge, making serving and drinking easier

With previous martini glasses, I've had two problems - first, the drink spills if jostled when carrying; second, some designs are top-heavy with a large bowl and small base. These glasses neatly solve both problems with the turned design of the lip and the 'extremely' large base. While some might argue that this produces a somewhat gangly overall profile, I've grown to like their unique design. One possible CON - the bowl is thin glass with a cleanly cut edge, so they need careful handling even though it appears to be tough glass (I already broke one).

Amazing quality

Perfect size for a classic Martini, not too big like most martini glasses are these day, but with enough volume to include 3 olives.

The glasses are beautiful but I was a little disappointed in the color of them. The pictures made them seem like they had a smokiness or a black tint to them but they are completely clear. The glass itself, isn’t very deep but it is nice and wide with a curved lip which is nice. The base of the glass is very wide and sturdy so I think it will be difficult to tip over.

Initially I was over the moon on the beauty of this glass. However given its February 5th and the return window for these glasses closed on January 31st I guess I'm out a pair of martini glasses. I handle them with care each time I wash them by hand. I don't know how it broke. It just snapped. Truly disappointed in Riedel, was under the impression their quality was second to none.
