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



Gorgeous color
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...

Cheap Imitation of Product Ordered!
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.

Great everyday glasses
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).
