Orrefors Intermezzo Blue Claret Glasses, Set of 2



Orrefors Still First Class
These glasses make any wine look beautiful. The blue stems make the entire glass glow, the crystal has a lovely ring to it. Not cheap but replacements won't break the bank. We love Swedish design so choosing these was easy. Graceful from stem to top. Seems to be more delicate than other crystal we've had but worth it for the design and quality. I wash and dry by hand of course, very carefully. Still, we use them every day. Embarrassing to admit that I've broken a couple but good to know that I can replace them easily from good old Amazon.

Ethereal beauties
I use these glasses a lot, currently for all kinds of wine and champagne. They are very tall and slender, so I'm currently saving up for some burgundy glasses to match, but in the meantime, I'm quite happy drinking Cabernet from these glasses. They clean up just fine in the dishwasher, too (3 years and counting, not a scratch on them!) I rest the base of the glass on the little flip-down shelf on the top rack, and tilt the glass down to the next row. They're too tall to stand up straight, though.

They are quite fragile (we've broken one so far), but that delicacy is one of the things we love most about them, so now we're more careful about not leaving them sitting on the counter while we're cooking in the kitchen - they go straight in the dishwasher when they're empty.
