Italian Crafted Crystalize Glass Whiskey Glasses Set

4.0 out of 5 stars The 70 year Rear View Mirror The ole adage of “you get what you pay for” still rings true. In years gone buy one could feel the sharp edges on cut glass wirh admired appreciation and a sparkle in the eye from the light’s color play off the held treasure’s surface whilst with pressed glass the edges felt soft and rounded and the color play dull. There was a price difference between the two types with the pressed glass being less expensive and less desireable to the discerning eye. This decanter set is of the pressed glass process and while being well manufactured, securely packaged and creatively up-marketed as Italian made lacks the everlasting worth of a future prized heirloom.The term pressed glass was used above and the same analogy would apply to crystal. This is a heavy set and is marketed as crystaland has the apperance and feel of pressed rather than hand cut.It is a fair value for the price and a useful place holder until times and the pocket book allow for the luxury of a decanter set to be passed down from generation to generation with a whispered smile that “price is oft forgotten whilst quality remains appreciated.” 8 people found this helpful
