La Rochere Glasses Bee/Fleur de Lys (9 oz) glasses
Regular use:
Throughout the day:
In the morning these go in the microwave to warm milk, mid-morning the glass becomes a single serving tea or herbal tea brewing glass.
For afternoon/evening wine or aperitif this glass with a lower center of gravity is less precarious than a stemmed glass.
The glass has an astonishingly stable base for the night side table for that essential sip of water during the night.
Productivity:
A sustaining sip of your preferred beverage or small snacks can be stacked in glass(es) to carry to workstation or reading nook.
Entertaining:
Use 9 oz. glasses to help conserve space on the crowded cheese and fruit plate. They help save horizontal, space, use for short rectangular crackers, pretzels, hummus, tapenade, olives, pickles, berries, small fruits, dips or crudities.
I imagine the tall glasses would be outstanding for grissini or cheese twists.
Desserts:
Individual pots de crème, puddings, crème brulée, tapioca, ice cream and parfaits (maybe you get the drift here!) Serve with iced teaspoon for an even more dramatic presentation and save the cuffs of long sleeve clothes.
Safety:
Dexterity challenged people or those of us who gesture a lot talking on the phone or while cooking:
Most of all these glasses are truly invaluable for people who tend the drop things.
Often the glass will survive five to ten falls before breaking. When they do break, they tend to create large pieces rather than truly dangerous slivers.
Medical:
This is just enough water to wash down a pill.
Chilling Drinks:
Best of all the heaven-sent ice cubes is made in a recycled Noosa variety pack 4 ounce serving container to make the perfect conically shaped ice cube that retains the cold.
Wrap up
The Rochere glasses are the only glass glasses that last in my kitchen. Now all the other glasses and cups are stainless steel.
These are in the best eye-catching gift category for people with arthritis, peripheral neuropathy or hyperactivity or are style conscious. The perfect hostess gift.
Color Choices???!
The fall-winter color set is stunning. Can we hope for a spring-summer four color set???
Hi Judy, thanks for your review! We're hoping to launch some new spring bee colors soon!
