Ocean Iris Hi Ball Tumblers, 370ml, Set of 6 (1C13013L)

Our review

This is a six-piece set of Ocean Iris hi ball tumblers, each holding 370ml. The shape is a classic tulip with a fine rim, which is the detail that separates this line from plainer straight-sided glasses: the rim is meant to feel thin against the lip, and the curve gives the glass a bit more presence on a table. Because they are highballs rather than short tumblers, they suit tall drinks such as water, juice, soft drinks, beer and other iced beverages. They are a reasonable pick if you want a matching set for everyday family use or for serving guests, and the styling is aimed at people who like their glassware to look a little more considered than basic catering stock. Before ordering, think about what you already own. If you mostly drink spirits neat or short mixed drinks, a smaller old fashioned glass will feel better in the hand, and if you want something for wine, this is not the right shape. Also consider whether you want a set of six or would rather buy fewer, heavier glasses, since a fine rim generally asks for a little more care when washing and stacking. Compare the capacity against your usual pours, and check how the glasses will sit in your cupboard, as highballs take up more vertical space than short tumblers. Available on Sokonia.
