| Suzer's Full Review: Pfaltzgraff April 16-Ounce Coolers Set of 4 |
I am reviewing Pfaltzgraff, April, 16-ounce coolers. Don't we all want to have a beautiful set of dinnerware that we can proudly show off and enjoy? Perhaps you are having family or friends over for the holidays or just because, or perhaps you are entertaining for work. I was very excited when I won a gift certificate for amazon.com from one of the online survey sites. I decided it was about time to bite the bullet, and purchase some new glasses and dishes I could be proud of, and truly enjoy.
It was a lot of fun looking at all the available dinnerware and glasses, and the various patterns available. Some people seem to like very bold patterns, colors, and styles. I tend to prefer elegant and yet subtle, so I selected the Pfaltzgraff April 16-ounce coolers, and also the dishes. I shall add to it at a later date, but I felt this was a good start.
The glasses have a thin band of aqua near the top, and have very petite, pastel colored wildflowers etched on them. The colors are aqua, pink, and purple. They are absolutely gorgeous, and I am proud to own, display, and serve beverages in them. I have used them for iced tea, soft drinks, water, and if I wish, can also use them for juice or other beverages. A set of 4 was just over $21.00 at Amazon.com, and they are available at other online stores also.
Features of the April Cooler glasses:
* Four 16-ounce glasses ornamented by wildflower motif in delicate colors
* Weighted bottoms for stability
* 6-1/4 inches high
* Dishwasher-safe
What I like about these glasses:
The glasses are really pretty, and I love the colors, the pattern, the fact that the bottom is weighted, so they are more stable. I don't have a dishwasher, but it is a plus that they are dishwasher safe.
With a beautiful pattern such as "April", it is a pleasure to share them with others. They complement the dishes I purchased, and I shall purchase more from this pattern in the near future.
What I don't like:
There isn't anything I don't like, other than the fact that they can break easily, but hey, they are glass. They aren't inexpensive, but they are worth every dime.

Final thoughts and recommendations:
If your tastes are similar to me, and you enjoy a delicately beautiful and elegant pattern, and of course like the Pfaltzgraff name, you may also love the April collection of dishes and glassware. I was a little bit concerned purchasing a pattern online, but couldn't be happier with my choice. If your tastes differ, Pfaltzgraff has 20+ other attractive patterns available. I highly recommend the glasses, and am giving them 5 stars for their beauty, simplicity, and elegance.
Thanks for reading!
