The Hlukana set is four 11-ounce old fashioned glasses with a thick weighted base and straight tapered walls. The heavy bottom is the point: it keeps the glass stable when you stir with a bar spoon and gives it the heft people associate with a proper rocks glass. Capacity suits a two-ounce pour plus a large cube with room left, so the drink does not sit at the rim. They are unetched clear glass rather than cut crystal, which means they go in the dishwasher without clouding the way leaded crystal does. Best fit: a starter home bar, or replacing a mismatched set where one survivor is doing all the work.
Pros

- 11 ounces fits a two-ounce pour plus a large cube with headroom
- Plain clear glass is dishwasher safe and will not cloud like leaded crystal
- Set of four, so you are not building a bar one glass at a time
Cons
- Plain-sided rather than cut crystal, so they read as understated rather than showpiece
Frequently asked questions
Are they dishwasher safe?
Yes. They are unleaded clear glass, so they do not develop the cloudiness that cut crystal gets.
Will a large format ice cube fit?
Yes. A standard two-inch cube fits with room for a two-ounce pour.
How heavy is the base?
Substantially weighted, which is what keeps the glass from sliding when you stir.
Are these full lead crystal?
No, they are standard clear glass. That is why they handle the dishwasher without clouding.
