This is a beautiful stem of fine crystal. It definitely met expectations!
interesting glass, would like a finer rim
The bubbles look so cool inside the little transparent windows in the design. Highly recommended.
Don't fill up past the top of the windows to get the most aesthetics per glass of wine ;)
Lovely glass. This review is going to be a bit all over the place but my family and I sure do appreciate these little beauties. I bought my mom and dad matching safari gazelle glasses. Dad got the 9oz water goblet for drinking red wine and mom got the flute for her champagne. Like 5 months into owning these glasses my mom ended up breaking hers in an accident while she was dealing with a recent back injury. Mom cried for like 2hr and of course I had to order her a new glass on the spot to cheer her up. This review is following my receiving the replacement. This one also had a month or two delay but that was fine as these glasses are totally worth it. This is a very high quality and unique glass. I have never seen anything remotely getting 10% the awesome that is this glass. Not only is the art breath taking but the angles of the glass and little nub in the stem feel so damn great when holding the glass. Literally the best designed glass in the universe. I've given my dad the water goblet version of this same glass and it is perfect for red wine. It became his favorite glass and I make both my parents use the glasses I got them instead of hiding them safely in the cabinet. I told them these glasses are for daily use and they should absolutely just use them ;). Even half a year after I got them their glasses they are using them every day and washing them that same night just about every day of the week. All those Riedel glasses are just sitting in the cabnet unused unless a guest comes over haha. I've heard strangers and friends mention what they think is their favorite glassware.. blah blah Riedel glasses blah whatever but lol they have no idea. I've been wanting to get one as a gift to our local wine vendor but these are too expensive to get on such a whim for non-family. I guess these glasses will just remain my little secret haha!
