I wanted to have some good quality, small tasting glasses for when I have friends over for barrel tastes. I had some crappy ones from the dollar store. Then I found these. They are 6 oz. crystal glasses from Ravenscroft of Pennsylvania. Great size & shape, crystal clear and well made. They come in boxes of 12. My first box had one broken stem in it. The company has great customer service and replaced it for the cost of shipping. I love these!
