Bought these recently and have already used them for a dinner party - for an after-dinner drink of Limoncello. They made quite a hit with my guest. The glasses are elegant and unusual in shape, which I love. I took 3 pictures of how well they were packaged. The first picture is of the decorated and sturdy box, the 2nd photo is hard to see but shows that inside the box is an approximately 1/2" foam over the top of the glasses, and the 3rd photo shows the 6 liqueur glasses nestled in a bed of satiny fabric. They were shipped to protect the glasses within. I'll be using these frequently, especially with the holidays approaching. I also plan on buying a set as a gift for friends.
