Review of Cristal d'Arques Longchamps Crystal Stemware Wine Glasses, Set of 4

This crystal is just beautiful! It is heavy, well cut, has a nice drinking edge, and sparkles under the light. My only problem is matching glass sizes. The descriptions don't give enough information to tell if the glass is the same size as ones I already have. Sometimes it goes by the oz.'s it holds but were do they measure to? half way up the wine glass? all the way to the lip? 1/2" from the lip? My suggestion would be to order as many glasses as you need at one time so you are sure you are getting the same size. There have been a few flaws in the crystal. One wine glass had a tiny sharp piece on the side. I think it can be sanded off, but I haven't tried yet. Another had a tiny dimple in the side that I tried to wash off :) until I realized it was in the glass. I ordered two pitcher and glass sets and one pitcher had a broken handle when it arrived; but I kept it because I would have had to send the glasses back too and I needed them for Chrismas, and the product was no longer available. Overall, I have been very pleased with the glasses. My guests at Chrismas oohed and awwed over the table and said it looked like something out of a magazine. I will be buying more water goblets and iced tea glasses until I have a whole set. I just hope they are all the same size :)
