The first shipment of these glasses I received was not as described. As the previous commenter noted, they did not have the bubble. When I brought this to Wasserstrom's attention, they investigated and found that glasses which were not actually Viking 34750 had been shipped to them as Viking 34750. They had the incorrect glasses picked up by UPS and had Judel ship the correct glasses directly to me. When they arrived they were, indeed, Viking 34750 as described on the web site. Wasserstrom's service in correcting the situation was outstanding.
The glasses themselves are OK. This was an order to replace ones that had broken over the years. This size seems prone to breaking or cracking with regular use. Sizes that aren't as tall have proven to be much less likely to break.
The 4 star rating reflects both Wasserstrom's service (which would be 5 stars in itself) and the glasses, which I would rate as 3 stars if it hadn't been for Wasserstrom's great service.

I wouldn't recommend these glasses to anyone.
Firstly, these glasses are NOT 18 oz. At most they will hold 16.5 oz (and that is to the point of overflowing).
Secondly, the quality control of these glasses is terrible. Many of them have walls that are so thin that the slightest knock will produce a crack, while others have walls that I would consider passable.
Lastly, the product picture on this website is incorrect: the glasses as shipped DO NOT have the bubble in the base.
Overall, I believe these glasses are a terrible product.
