These Spode wine glasses are lovely!   They are very pretty.  Their English Christmas tree design with mistletoe and holly on the back make them perfect for Christmas.  However I use them all year around; not just at Christmas.  They are not real heavy but very durable.  It is hard to find wine glasses with stems anymore.  The trend is going to stemless wine glasses which look ridiculous!  It looks like you are drinking out of a vase.  These wine glasses look very elegant; especially on the dinner table.  I will be buying more.
