iittala Essence Red Wine Glasses (Set of 4)

I decided to replace my random sets of stemware with these iittala glasses - champagne, white wine, red wine and beer glasses - taking advantage of the iittala sale, as well.
Oh my, so so nice. I shouldn't have waited so long to do this.
Gorgeous, elegant stemware.

I love the simple elegance and shape of these red wine glasses. They are the perfect weight and feel really good using. Those who don’t know Scandinavian design are intrigued by the shape which also becomes a topic of conversation about style that creates new converts to iittala.

We love these new glasses! They are perfectly balanced in one's hand and make the wine look beautiful, too. They are not too severe that they wouldn't fit with a casual meal, but they are stylish enough to work with a full Holiday or grand celebration meal. So happy we found these!

These wine glasses are so elegant and beautiful. I was initially concerned about the stems that look somewhat fragile, but they feel great in the hand. I am reserving them for special occasions.

Simple, elegant style. A little tall, but not unwieldly or top-heavy. I love the straight sides. they are a nice contrast to more traditional globe-style red wine glasses I already had.
