I splurged on those trendy wine glasses after seeing all the gorgeous pics – and I'm not disappointed!

Hello everyone!

This year, I've seen a ton of awesome recipes on social media, and one of the most unique ideas was using these glassware creamers instead of salad bowls. So, I decided to get some for New Year's Eve.

The brand is Pasabahce.

The set includes 4 glassware creamers of 260ml each, but you can also get them in sets of 2 or 6.

I paid 975 rubles, which was a steal considering I snagged it on Black Friday.

I ordered them from Wildberries.

Creamers are a must-have in any home cook's kitchen. With these beautiful glassware creamers, you can easily serve drinks and dishes in style.

The creamers arrived in a branded box. I'm already familiar with the brand - I have a vase, bottles, coasters, and a couple of salad bowls from them. So, there was no question about the quality.

To be honest, I'd already read a ton of reviews and was convinced that this was the official brand profile. By the way, there's hardly any information about the fragile contents. The text on the box is in both English and Russian. The only useful info is at the bottom, but it's still not enough. Even the volume of each creamer is listed in cubic centimeters instead of milliliters. But the product card on the marketplace clears up any confusion.I was really happy with the packaging of the creamers for transportation and storage. The manufacturer thought of the safety of each one.

I was prepared for some damage during shipping, but luckily, everything arrived in one piece. I carefully unpacked each glass and was thrilled with their appearance.They looked exactly like the photos and videos on social media – even better. Despite their bulkiness, the glasses are surprisingly lightweight. I was expecting a heavy glass feel in my hand, but I was pleasantly surprised.The generous bowl and optimal stem length make them look less imposing. The thick glass gives me confidence that these glasses will last for years and become a staple on my dinner table. The bowl's intricate design, with its many facets, is a standout feature. On the one hand, I love that the designs are on the outside – a major plus in my book. I have some dishes where the patterns are on the inside, and it's a nightmare to clean them after a big meal.On the other hand, it's just nice to hold these glasses in my hand, feeling the texture and ridges with my fingertips.

I've gotta say, these patterns do start to 'pop' under certain lighting conditions, even if it's just a subtle effect.So, the aesthetic pleasure of using them is a given, and that's exactly why I bought these glasses in the first place.As for usage, I have to say that I wasn't thinking of using them as champagne flutes. The shape just isn't right for that, although I guess it's up to personal preference. That being said, they're perfect for cocktails and martinis. Since I already have a set of cocktail glasses, I decided to use them exclusively as dessert cups and mini-salad bowls.

I actually planned out a special Christmas menu to serve in them. My go-to is a simple crab salad, but I know some people like to get creative with olivier, pickled herring, and other colorful salads that benefit from the portion control.Overall, I think these glasses look great on the table. Plus, it's easy to arrange them at an angle to fit the size of your table. That's a big plus for smaller gatherings, since we often opt for a smaller spread and don't want to fuss with a big table setup. And the best part is that everyone gets their own portion and can enjoy at their own pace. No need to reach for a communal bowl!The size of the bowl is also perfect for one person to enjoy a specific salad. In my opinion, using these glasses as dessert cups is a genius idea.

I'm thinking of trying out a fruit salad or teramisu in them come summer. But overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with the Pasabahce glasses and would definitely recommend them as my top holiday purchase.
