Our family loves National Geographic! We read the magazines -- watch the TV shows and specials. It's been a part of our lives for many years. When we discovered the beautifully crafted items at Novica (in Association with National Geographic), we were delighted and amazed!
We were even more delighted to be given an opportunity to review an item from Novica.
We received the 6 Piece Cobalt Blue Highball Glasses for the purpose of review.
The glasses are just beautiful. They are nicely weighted (something I really love) and the colour is superb. The glasses are a little over 6 1/2 inches tall and are blown glass. They are also dishwasher safe (top rack)!
While I rarely drink (Mike doesn't drink at all) alcoholic beverages, we do love to set a nice table for special occassions. These gorgeous cobalt blue glasses make any dinner special. Iced tea works just as well in these glass as would whiskey!

From the website:
A soothing, tempered tone of cobalt invades this set of six highball glasses. Over thirty years of experience has resulted in Javier and Efrén's superior ability to create imaginative yet functional works, achieving an incredible clarity with the material.
Please note that as each piece is individually handmade, slight variations in the shape and size of the glass are likely, making every item a distinct example of blown-glass craftsmanship. Tiny bubbles within the surface exemplify Canteras' singular, rustic technique.
