Really happy with my purchase of the Ultima Thule Goblets. These glasses feel good in your hand when you grip them. They hold a good amount of liquid, to satisfy your thirst. And I feel fancy when I use them. They are dishwasher safe. The glass is thin, which always makes me handle them with more care. I would buy them for myself or a gift for a friend.
Iittala
In 1881, a small glass factory was founded in the little town of iittala, Finland. Its blown, pressed, polished, painted and etched glass was high quality...but, at least from a design perspective, not highly original. That all changed during the modernism period of the 1930s and 40s, when famed Finnish designers Alvar Aalto and Kaj Franck became involved in iittala glassware design. From there, iittala made the permanent transition from ornate dinner sets to simplified and functional--yet still highly beautiful--glasses, dinnerware, cookware, vases and other decorative home accessories.
