Bormioli RoccoSorgente Double Old Fashioned Glasses, 14.25 ounces, White, 4 Count (Pack of 1)

I bought these glasses because of the unusual design. I love that it has grooves that fit the pads of your fingers perfectly; which is very helpful when you have had a couple and the glass has condensation! But the proven test, that happened quite accidentally, is the sturdiness and durability of these glasses. I go through quite a few pieces of glassware as they always seem to hit the edge of the faucet just right and break, or for some reason I find a piece missing in the dishwasher. I dropped one of these glasses, from a height of about four feet, onto a tile floor in my kitchen and I held my breath as it hit, and it had this thunk of a sound. But it did NOT SHATTER into a million pieces. The bottom of the glass is very thick and weighted and the only part that chipped is a corner of the bottom of the glass. A small paper thin thick piece of glass. Needless to say I was impressed. The glass didn't shatter which I find amazing in the face of physics and gravity lol. So I HIGHLY recommend these glasses. They look great in a room when you're entertaining, and they feel good in the hand; perfect weight and balance and the grooves are wonderful and they make for a great conversation piece. I will be buying more of these in this size and the tall. Don't sleep on these.

Look great, feel great, good medium size

Perfect size, very attractive with various angles and especially secure to hold in hand. Excellent design and quality.

Great glasses! I like the size and weight of these. The contours fit nicely in the hand and are large enough to accommodate a nice cocktail with ice. We were served drinks in these glasses at Nomad Lounge and Tiffin’s (in Animal Kingdom at Disney World), thought they would be great to use for summer cocktails, and were able to track them down here (can confirm these are the same maker and same size and quality as the ones used at Disney). Glad we did, we’re enjoying them!

Love these glasses. Easy to hold and look so nice! I’d highly recommend

I wanted to buy the glasses that were used in "Blade Runner" but they are quite expensive and I was worried about breaking them. I ended up getting these instead and they are great glasses. They have a nice shape to them that reminds me of melted ice. I find that in my left hand they are very secure, they fit like they were molded for my hand. I think they may fit my right hand less securely. I also ordered a set of the shot glasses from this design and those are very study. I dropped one and made a nice ringing noise and didn't break. I definitely recommend these glasses. If you are looking for something closer to the ones from Blade Runner, checkout the Bormioli Cassiopea series.

Nice! I've had the shot glass version of these glasses for a few years now. I decided to order the double old fashioned (DOF) version because I like the asymmetric look but also because it's actually functional. If you have a glass of scotch or bourbon with some ice, the glass will get some condensation on the outside which can make a glass with straight sides a bit slippery. But not these glasses. The lumpy bumpy irregular surface makes them really easy and enjoyable to grip.They also look cool with a colored liquid inside. The color helps to show off the asymmetric glass and bends light in interesting ways for a unique look. I get lots of compliments on these. It's not often you find a daily use item that's both artsy and practical but these glasses fit that description.They are pretty durable but not very expensive. So, I'm not gonna cry if I break one but they survive the dishwasher just fine.

Everything everyone else has described is right on, but I'll add 3 flaws and 3 strengths.Three flaws:The cool texture of the sides of the glass itself do not allow large ice cubes to fit in as easily as they would into a regular (boring) glass; some iced drinks or mixed drinks made with lower quality booze are better with more ice, and - if you only have large cubes on hand - it is far from ideal.The second issue is that the glasses are just slightly too big around to give you a 100% sure hold on them until you have used them for a while (a physical learning curve). I should note that I have never dropped them and neither have any folks that have used them with smaller hands, but they take a bit of getting used to, just edging them out from from being hands-down the best glasses of all time.They also take up slightly more room than simple (again, probably boring), round glasses in the cabinet. If you have limited space (a small apartment, for example, maybe just small cupboards), but are considering ordering several sets, you might want to get 2 set and some of their other, fine glasses, perhaps some that are stackable.Three overlooked positives:The top half inch of the glass is smooth with a barely noticeable, yet slightly larger bead on the rim, a very nice touch that keeps your lips firm during every sip.The bottom of the glass is concave, preventing the glass from sticking when wet from an iced drink or just on a hot day when you need a cool drink.Most importantly, the glasses just do not want to fall over, I have a pet peeve for tipsy glasses, not so much for tipsy friends.Update:I've bought the taller Bormioli Rocco Sorgente Cooler Glasses, Set of 4, Gift Boxed a few days ago, and I already feel like they are a better choice, even though they are a bit less twisty (and cool), and are more narrow and taller, slightly increasing their likeliness to tip over and slightly reducing their unique look.
