HISTORY COMPANYDukes Bar World’s Best Martini Glass 2-Piece Set (Gift Box Collection)

Not too large, well balanced, not top-heavy, and the pulled stem gives it strength and beauty. My main compliment is to the seller. One of the glasses had a slight defect on the lip. I immediately contacted the seller (The New York First Company) through the contact info on their enclosed guarantee card. I sent an email with a picture of the glass with the defect. It was a rough edge and it was difficult to get a good picture of that. It was more of a feel than a visual defect. But I quickly heard back that they would send a new set. I offered to just exchange the one glass, but they right-away sent a new set of two in perfect condition. The whole thing was settled within a week. I am gratified and happy to recommend these glasses and this seller. They are good at their word. "World's Best," as advertised, for more reason than one.

My wife and I have visited The Duke's bar on many occasions. These are wonderful martini glasses with just the right amount of heft. Very stylish. And the bonus of a stack of Dukes paper glass mats was a lovely surprise. If you're into martinis, the right glassware is just as important. These are the ones!

I make an annual pilgrimage to Duke’s Bar in London for a martini (or two). In my view, and the view of many, the martinis at Duke’s are the best in the world. Part of it is the drink itself, with its bespoke vermouth and frozen gin. Part of it is the clubby, old world atmosphere of the bar and its waiters in white dinner jackets. And part of it is the vessel in which this elixir is poured. Finally, after years of searching, I have found the Duke’s martini glasses. Unique in their conical shape and no too large, although no one would call these glasses peitite, these are the perfect martini glasses. Highly recommended.

For someone who drinks martini's on a regular basis these glasses are perfect. Not too big or too small. The depth of the bowl and the weight makes the martini glasses feel very sturdy. Sure, you can spend $100's more on a martini glass and we have done the same with some of the other name brand crystal producers. Nothing wrong with their products but going forward my preference is using these new martini glasses from now on.

I've purchased multiple sets of this beautiful, well-balanced martini glass which is perfect for 3 oz. cocktails.But several of the well-used glasses have developed a milky 'fog' in the upper third of the glass, that is, the area down from the rim - the lower area in which the martinis are poured have remained crystal clear.Our tap water is from a well and the water quality is top-notch and better tasting that almost all bottled water products - so, I don't think the fog is caused by water. Besides, the glasses are only washed in mild soapy water for seconds before they're rinsed and towel dried - they are never in the dish washer.The foggy portion of the martini glass is a curiosity, that's for certain.
