We compared two sets of six drinking glasses: the Krosno Avant-Garde Water Glasses Set of 6 and the Acense 6 x Drinking Glasses.
What we looked at
Capacity, design, glass type, dishwasher use, and price per glass. The two sets are different sizes (430ml vs 355ml).
The verdict
If you want a larger 430ml minimalist glass from a European glassmaker, the Krosno is the pick at £27.99, about £4.67 a glass. If you would rather save £15.00 on a 355ml diamond-cut tumbler with a vintage look, the Acense is the alternative, at £12.99, about £2.17 a glass.
