Artland Iris DOF, 14-Ounce, Set of 4 Review

Customer Ratings:

Cross-posted as a review for both the highball and the 14 ounce.

We had been trying to get red glasses for everyday use for a few years when we came across these. Every other set we had, the glasses were either coated with red plastic that peeled off with regular use (despite advertising saying they were red glass, not red coated glass) or, if they actually were red glass, they were not dishwasher safe. Not exactly practical for everyday use.

When we ordered these, we were unsure, both because of bad experiences in the past, and because these glasses looked a bit pink in the pictures. Turns out, there was no reason to be unsure. These are an absolutely gorgeous shade of red, the color is in the glass itself no coating, and they are nice and thick. Sturdy enough for daily use whilst still being very pretty. They would be gorgeous for people who use separate dishes for outdoor use as well, as they cast beautiful light when they catch the sun.

We ended up buying an extra set of four in each size just to make sure that even if they stop producing them and we end up breaking one or two, we'll still have a full set. We've had them since February 2011, and despite being dropped on both hardwood and tile floors, caught on the counter-lip when removed from the dishwasher and one instance of having cold liquid poured into a glass still hot from the dishwasher (oops! :o ), there is not a single crack or chip in any of them.

Though I've given five stars on amazon before (and, in all honesty, tend to be fairly generous with high star reviews) this is one of those cases that I can say with no caveats that the product really is worth the high rating.

Buyer beware! Although this comes in an Artland shipping box, the glasses are actually RuffHewn brand and are a cheap imitation of Artland. They are thinner and inferior quality.

This was a replacement order for the same glasses I received initially.

I ordered our current glasses from another site and received the correct product which is much thicker glass and superior quality. These are not a match with the current glasses.

Sending back.

Best Deals for Artland Iris DOF, 14-Ounce, Set of 4

Love the color, feel and weight of these glasses. I've purchased them in the amber, slate blue, and purple, and they're all gorgeous. Strong enough for everyday use. I only gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because the ones I purchased 2 years ago were thicker glass, so they appear to be cutting the quality a little bit (although not the price).

I purchased several glass: red, green, and blue. Lovely. Although wide and heavy, I love them and enjoy drinking from them.

I like these glasses, but would have liked them more if they had been the lighter color shown in the photos.
