Review on Fortessa Jupiter 13 Oz Sage Iced Beverage Glass Set Of 6 - D&V Collection by Erick Roby

Revainrating 4 out of 5

neat sort-of hobnail style design, but not sage (almost clear)

My pictures display the 'sage' 13 oz glass in the back, the tallest of the 3 or 4 glasses pictured. Please note, though, that this sage glass has almost no color. It is almost clear, very pale greenish color to the glass. It is not the sage as pictured in the listing, not at all. That is the only reason I marked down one star. There are three prominent vertical lines (demarcation?) from manufacturing that appear in each glass. And the quality of the glass is not very high. I'd rate these middle of the road, maybe a 3/5 for quality. However, I haven't used them yet, so if they fail as others have reported, I will update my review at a later date.And for my purpose of purchase, the manufacturing flaw lines and mid grade quality are not too much of a turn off. They remind me of a knock off of a higher quality glass. But I like the hobnail (?) style (I am not sure if that is the correct style name, though.)I bought these originally in multiple colors to use as candle holders. My photos display the purple, cornflower blue and 'sage' / almost clear, as well as a teal glass made by a different manufacturer (much higher quality) These are a decent size, so maybe larger than necessary for votives or even tealight holders, but the flame would bounce off of these nifty patterned glasses and put off a cool pattern in the evening. If you used a smaller plain glass tealight holder inside of these colored glasses, it would contain the melted wax better and offer a cleaner finish in the end. For candle holders, they are mid priced, but the variety of colors and sizes offered with this pattern was what I was searching for. I'll probably keep a few of each color in my dish cabinet, and use the rest for something eye-catching in which to burn votive and tealight candles.

Pros
  • Iced Tea Glasses
Cons
  • Limited versatility

I love this style of drinking glasses so much that I bought these. Good quality. I price is comparable to Kirklands
