Question: Is the blue swirl inside the glass itself or is it some kind of ink on the surface of the glass? Also are these lead free?
Document: Glasses are gorgeous! I love the blue swirl and the slightly wavy rim of the glasses. In addition the glass is not smooth but has a slight dimpled texture which not only makes it easier to hold than smooth glass but also reflects the light in a beautiful way. Glass is thick and substantial but not heavy. Note: Glass width is larger at top than bottom of glass by 4.5&#34; so the glasses will take up more room in the cabinet than straight sided glasses.
I really love these glasses. Admittedly we haven't owned ours for long, but I'm about to place an order for two more sets. The glasses are appealing for both casual and classy settings. Each has a nice thick wall and feel substantial in your hand, like they won't break easily. These glasses look hand blown due to the non-uniform rim height, the blue swirl, and also as the faintly dimpled/wavy exterior, which makes the glasses easier to hold on to, also.
These glasses are just as they appear with the cobalt color swirl. My wife suggested that they are a bit slippery, but I love them. I plan on purchasing at least another set if not more. I have also purchased the smaller version. And what a perfect match with SKY. The swirl is gradient and the glass is rippled. This just says Italian with it's design and look. Buy it you will like it.
A very nice glass. I like the weight. Not easily tipped. Could have had a little more of the blue swirl.
These glasses are both beautiful and functional. I love the thickness of the glass and the blue swirl is evidence that each glass is handmade and unique. Plus, they are stackable- saving cupboard space. They come in two sizes as well. Highly recommended!
Got these for my mother for Christmas and she got another set on her own she liked them so much. I really liked the look of them, very unique and the blue swirl pops out nicely. I like the unevenness of the glass edges and hand made look. My mom should be glad I didn't keep them for myself :)
The cobalt blue swirl gives a bit of elegance to this otherwise rustic glass. Arty yet functional and rustic, these glasses are a fun addition for those looking for something a bit different. The blue swirl that covers one side of the glass is indeed quite a rich deep blue. Light shining through the blue gives it an even nicer, richer appearance. Although the glass holds almost 15 ounces, with ice, a 12 oz soda or tea can will not completely fit in one pouring.
These are quite beautiful glasses, with unique blended blue swirls. The pictures are totally accurate as far as appearances are concerned. The glass itself seems handmade as the rims are not totally flat and perfect, but that gives them a unique look since most glasses have "perfect" flatness. The rims are highly smoothed out so there is no risk of cutting your mouth. One concern I do have is the packaging, there seems to be no real protection inside the box.
These glasses are quite attractive and each one is a little different than the next. I love the texturing of the glasses and how the lip on the glass is not quite even as it goes around. However the glasses are smaller (shorter) than I anticipated. While we do sometimes use them as dinner glasses, they are better suited for rocks glasses. It is also worth noting that the blue looks darker in real life than in the pictures (possibly due to the light source the photogrpaher used).
These are solid well made drinking glasses. The irregular rim & surface along with the splash of blue gives this glass character. I don't know about the volume claim (14 7/8). Maybe you can fit that much if you're not going to move it. However, if you plan to pick it up then it just fits a standard beer or soda. Nevertheless, I'm getting four more.
Answer: According to the company all their "bright, multicolor glasses are sprayed with an organic European varnish and then `baked' at a very high temperature to adhere the coloring to the glassware."  I wrote the company and asked this question. You may be able to have them replaced by Bormioli:Update: From: Laurie O'HaraDate: 03/18/14 10:34:53To: BBSubject: RE: Bormioli Rocco Giove Cooler GlassesHi B,Thank you for thinking of Bormioli Rocco. All our bright, multicolor glasses are sprayed with an organic European varnish and then `baked' at a very high temperature to adhere the coloring to the glassware. The sprayed color will last up to 250 industrial strength dishwasher cycles. Industrial dishwashers use hotter water and more water pressure, so they will last longer in the average household. Last year, a batch of our glasses missed this vial `baking' stage and was shipped and distributed before we knew of the mistake. We have promised to replace each and every defective glass.I hope this helps to answer any questions you might have. Please let me know if you have any other questions.Best,LaurieLaurie O'HaraPublic Relations ManagerBormioli Rocco Glass Company 41 Madison Ave * New York, NY, 10010 * USATel: 646-280-0356 * www.bormioliroccousa.com * www.facebook.com/bormioliroccousaFrom: BB [mailto:nobody@www.bormioliroccousa.com] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2014 10:59 AMTo: InfoSubject: Contact form submission from BBSubmission from 'contact us' form:Name :BBBormioli Rocco Giove Cooler Glasses Message :Are the Bormioli Rocco Giove Cooler Glasses: spray-colored, dipped or otherwise colored on the exterior or is the pigment impregnated into the glass as in blown art-glass: An Amazon reviewer says your 'paint' flakes off.
