"Cristalleria Fratelli Fumo" Crystal Champagne Glasses Flutes, 8 Oz. 24 Karat Gold Rimmed Accent, Hand Made in Italy, SET OF 6

I've recently moved into a new home after living on my boat for the last decade. There are all sorts of "negotiations" you make with yourself living on a boat: chief among them is "no breakables". It doesn't make sense to have a lot of fine china or delicate glassware when a wave could tip you and your beloved fragile kitchenware onto the floor. It also means you don't have a lot of *other* things as well because you don't need them. Furniture for instance. So when I took a job in another city and elected to move onto land, I made a few decisions about what landlubber me was going to be like. Chief among them is that I'm not buying anything that's not beautiful and high quality.I purchased a very complete set of matching Cristalleria crystal glassware - wine goblets, champagne flutes, rocks glasses, highballs, all the way down to the double shot glasses. These are absolutely *gorgeous* glasses. Our new house has this lovely display cabinet in the corner of the kitchen and a couple shelves of these sitting in there, grouped around a lovely engraved copper teakettle and they just *shine*!The engraving and the crystal itself is of visibly high quality - no cheap molds, no faded embossing. Just beautiful sets that will charm my fiance and I, and our guests, for a long time to come.

I purchased these Champagne Flutes for Christmas, after 2 hand washings the gold started to flake off- seriously diminishing the appeal of the glasses. Will see what either Amazon or Cristalleria Fratelli will do to correct this workmanship issue.The Flutes looked great prior to washing.

Too many imperfections. Color is copper and slight gold tint to glasses. Glasses Don t stand flat, the cut is off , if you turn them upside down , in your hutch. No worth the amount I paid

Beautiful glasses
