Stop Settling For Ordinary!





This pair of hand-painted wine glasses by Valentina Paris are simply exquisite.  I so wish my photos could do them justice.

First, these glasses are large red wine glasses with generously sized bowls for allowing the emergence of bold favors and aromas (plenty of room for swirling).  That becomes an important factor, especially with reds.  I, however, would also feel comfortable serving a mousse or trifle out of these! They are just too fabulous to relegate to wine drinking alone.  

It is most certainly the large size, coupled with the stunning abstract art, that make these so breath-taking. The artistic curves and waves feature a pale southwestern blend of muted shades that lend this set a rich, sophisticated appeal certain to enhance the aesthetics of any table. I also appreciate that the stems are substantial and elegant, with plenty of space for a firm grasp.

I love these glasses so much that I've added flameless tealights, some wired ribbon and a few flowers to create a stunning centerpiece for our new dining room table. I would love to see a holiday set created!

Overall, I can't recommend these highly enough for form and function.  They're bold statements disguised as glasses!
