Pavina Double Wall Glasses (Set of 2/8-oz.) by Bodum

These are fragile, pretty iced tea glasses. Unfortunately, the style is not very stable. They are very easy to knock over and break. They do tend to keep beverages cold, but they are not as effective at insulating the beverage as I had hoped. The pre-Christmas sale price and free shipping coupon made them a more attractive price.

My husband and I have used these glasses for cold drinks only, so far. The borosilicate glass and double-wall design does prevent condensation on the outside of the glass, which is nice. They do seem to keep cold drinks colder than a regular soda-lime glass would.

However, within two washes, one of the glasses shattered in the dishwasher. The manufacturer recommends against packing them tightly or handling them roughly in the dishwasher, but I think we followed both instructions pretty well.

I would recommend these glasses only for folks who are willing to hand-wash them after each use, and for households without children.

These glasses are very 'tipsy', because they are wider at the top than the base, and they are VERY, VERY fragile.

I bought two sets of these and love them. They are awesome for hot beverages and are very easy to handle.

The only problem I have with them is their delicacy, I have broken two of them in the sink cleaning them.

I like the thremal qualites of these glasses and the size is a nice fit for the hand. The lightness takes a bet of gitting use to and I still have a tendency to be more carefull with them but I have yet to have a problem with any of the Bodum glassware I have purchased.
