marta barware
less than minimal. Stylish and micro-thin, Marta is the mere suggestion of a glass, especially considering its grand size. -Large capacity -Machine made glassware -Dishwasher-safe

Love these glasses!
Date: 03/14/2010
I couldn't be happier with these glasses. They are so stylish and wonderful to hold and use. I am amazed that such a simple thing as a glass could make a difference in my daily life, but these glasses make me happy. I have used them daily for a couple of weeks now, and despite having granite counter tops and washing them multiple times in the dishwasher I have had no breakage.

If you are into wine stemware...
Date: 03/11/2010
you will like these glasses. They follow the same concept of a good wine glass: they have as small/thin barrier between you and what you are drinking meaning they are thin but not too thin and they have very little lip or rim to get in your way in this respect. They are also just plain beautiful and hold a bunch especially the 18 ouncer. I read a review here that warned that the juicers were "not of the same mold" or something to that effect and to avoid them so I did not order those. However, I like the other two so much I'm going to get the juicers as well. You will not be disappointed with these glasses no way; not at this price point. One thing though that must be mentioned: If you have a sturdy water draw lever on your fridge exterior like I do on my Kitchen Aid you will need to be cognizant of not putting too much pressure on these glasses.

Epic
Date: 03/10/2010
I think this is my favorite CB2 purchase to date (18 oz cooler). I needed new glasses for larger servings, and this seems to be the perfect size for me: Not too big, not too small. This glass is super clear and thin [Beatrice Warde's famous Crystal Goblet lecture comes to mind] and has the look of hand blown glass, but is actually machine-made and easy for every day use. Machine washable, yay!

GORGEOUS GLASSES!
Date: 02/24/2010
They're delicate, yet surdy.
Just the right size for your hand.
Love that they're thin, yet can go in the dishwasher.

love 'em and keep on buying 'em!
Date: 02/23/2010
I bought these after a long unfruitful search for glasses like the ones I drank wine from in Barcelona. And tah-dah! CB2 had something close. Now they're all I buy - they break from time-to-time (we aren't very careful with them), but lots less than our Riedel crystal. We drink juice, wine, cocktails, water, beer out of them. Couldn't be happier. Ordering more tonight!

Date: 02/21/2010
These glasses are great! We love them for juice, water and even highball drinks. they have great modern sleek lines but still look great with other traditional dishes. The only thing i worry about is that they will all break because they are so thin! But so far so good.

Date: 02/03/2010
I LOVE these little glasses. My husband and I use them for juice, cocktails and wine. I bought a set of ten, and because they stack inside each other, they take up sooooo little space in my cupboard. They are so thin, but I have hand washed and put them in the dishwasher and somehow they hold up to the pressures of both types of washing. They also look very stylish.

Love these!
Date: 01/28/2010
I bought just one of these glasses to make sure it was sturdy and wouldn't shatter in my dishwasher. These glasses are FAB and oh so bauhaus! The perfect size (I bought the small short size) and super thin, but we've found them to be incredibly durable. I'm not a careful person by any means and I haven't broken one despite accidentally dropping it off my coffee table.
Also, it did come with an annoying little sticker on the actual glass that I thought would leave a residue, but the sticker came off easily and all traces washed away in our dishwasher. Annoying, but harmless. And it might be my imagination, but the thin-ness of the glass seems to make all the beverages feel colder when you drink them.
We've found our perfect drinking glasses and I'm going to buy a full set of them!

Great glasses
Date: 01/08/2010
These are great, simple glasses. Very light weight and thin. Crystal clear glass. They load in the dishwasher easily. Also, you can stack them in the cabinet if you need to, which is nice to minimize space. Also, they aren't very expensive.

Juice glasses do not match!!!
Date: 01/06/2010
I guess I just didn't notice it from the picture on the website (or maybe they have actually changed???), but if you are interested in the aesthetics of these glasses as a set, please be aware that the "juice" glasses are VERY different from the cooler and the double old fashioned glasses. The base is thicker, the walls are curved, etc. They absolutely do not match the other two, and had a realized this, I would not have ordered them. Just a fair warning to anyone who is looking to purchase a "set."

I love these glasses. I got all three sizes and they have all been great. Although they look very fragile they have been fine in the dishwasher. They may not be good if there is someone clumsy in the house but I love them. :)

Would never do without these glasses.
Date: 11/30/2009
I've been using these glasses for thirteen years. At one time you could only find them in the Martha Stewart Catalogue; they were her "favorite glasses". When the Stewart catalogue closed, I was desperate, until my sister-in-law discovered that I could buy them under the name of "Marta" from CB2. The glasses are inexpensive, yet elegant. I started using them years ago when my husband was ill, and he was supposed to drink great amounts of water, and he would with these glasses because the lip is thin which makes water drinking a pleasure instead of a chore. The glasses break easily when you press them against the ice dispenser, so I always warn guests that they must press the lever manually, if they want to drink from these glasses. I always keep a dozen glasses in reserve because my fear is that CB2 will stop selling them and where would I be? My glass insurance is stashed at the top of my cubbard.

I bought these to be juice glasses and they are perfect. They are light weight and hold a large amount of liquid for how small they are. I would definitely recommend them!

Great for small quantities
Date: 11/18/2009
I purchased the juice glasses and they are perfect for just that ~ OR ~ as a simple tooth brush holder ~ or a small arrangement of flowers for a small table, etc.
They are super thin and seem fragile but so far I haven't broken any and I've used them in the dishwasher and really haven't been all that gentle on them. Great for the price and great to have for house guests while serving breakfast or cocktails.
