When I was ordering online, I passed over the Station glasses because I had a feeling they were thin and more likely to break; they are thin and they probably do need more careful handling than the tough Gilbratar glasses. However, standing in the store with the glass in my hand, it felt so nice – delicate and refined. What it didn’t say on the website is that they are Krosno from Poland. (Well, it may say Poland – I can’t remember.) I bought a few for myself and I am using one now. Actually, I not only like them – I really, really like them.
They are like the Jax glasses Crate & Barrel used to carry; Der Bingle has some of these and he really likes them. (Maybe even really, really likes them.)
Just thought I’d let you know.
This line: “The tapered base with thin sham holds well in hand for spirited sipping on the rocks or with mixers.” sold me.
I am now sitting on the sofa as if it were a chaise lounge, lazily sipping full-bodied peach iced tea, my lips pausing softly on the thin sham.
