Although Lenox is a US company, these glasses are made in Austria.They resonate well when spinning your finger on the thin rim.Definitely not machine washable.Lenox is a mystery to me...
1)they make really tacky ceramic china
2)they make excellent glassware
but here is the deal...
1)unlike spiegelau (a division of reidel since reidel bought it recently), there are no distortions in the glass or seams along the stem which are a sign of machine made or poor handmade quality.The reviewer above me states that her/his lot of glasses has a seam.I learned that Lenox has several quality control levels in its distribution.The higher quality seamless glasses are sent to direct customers, premium houses and Amazon.Seamed glasses of the same model are sent to Macy's, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Crate and Barrel.(as explained by the Macy's Serramonte, CA manager when I asked why the balloon glasses they carried had the seam)
2)the white house (yes presidents for the last 5 decades) have all used LENOX glassware (if it's good enough for the commander in chief ....)
3)lenox is one of the oldest and most respected glassware houses in the US.
I LOVE THESE GLASSES!MY GUESTS ALL THINK THAT THEY ARE REIDEL, and wHEN I EXPLAIN WHO LENOX IS >... WELL LETS JUST SAY THERE ARE MANY CONVERTS.
A BARGAIN FOR SUCH SUPERIOR QUALITY THAT I AM HESITANT TO POST THIS FEARING DEMAND WILL HEIGHTEN AND PRICES WILL RISE....
