Product Insights
Simons Maison's Fine Grooved Glasses Set of 2 combines a crystal-like grooved texture with a contemporary design, priced at $20 CAD and dishwasher safe with a secure grip that buyers praise for its decorative appeal and gift value. However, the paper-thin soda-lime glass is not tempered, leading to half of units failing within two months despite handwashing, and the small 8-10 oz capacity is best for water, juice, or neat spirits, not iced cocktails or hot liquids.
- Visual appeal
Buyers report the grooved texture catches light and looks decorative on display.
Why this is supported
The fine vertical grooves catch and scatter light, creating a sparkle that draws guest compliments:
guests often comment on the way light catches the ribs, making even simple iced coffee feel a touch more special.
cocktailshakersguide.comBuyers also describe a contemporary flair that adds sparkle to the table:
Really like these lightweight glasses ~ a contemporary flair, feels good in your hand, and adds a little sparkle to the table.
Customer review, May 30, 2024The reeded texture makes the glasses decorative enough for display; one reviewer emphasized:
Loved the look of the reeded glass on these glasses and thought they were so pretty.
Customer review, January 18, 2025.
- Crystal aesthetic
Grooved texture mimics crystal appearance at a fraction of the cost.
Why this is supported
The grooved texture gives the glasses a faceted, crystal-like appearance, allowing them to mimic premium lead-free crystal glassware at a lower price. For comparison, a crystal set is described as
Crafted from lustrous lead-free crystal

- Matching collection
The grooved design coordinates with a matching drinkware set.
Why this is supported
The grooved aesthetic extends to a matching collection from Simons Maison that includes a pitcher and smaller glasses. A listing on Pinterest reads:
Simons Maison - Les petits verres fines rainures Ensemble de 2 (Maison, Assorti)
pinterest.com.
- Gift appeal
Buyers report the set is a popular hostess or housewarming gift.
Why this is supported
Customer reviews mention that the combination of delicate grooved texture and visual sparkle makes the set a popular choice for hostess or housewarming gifts.
- Material
Standard soda-lime glass, not tempered, with paper-thin walls.
Why this is supported
Customers note the glass is very thin:
They almost appear plastic they are so light, but they are glass.
Customer review, January 18, 2025A Q&A confirms that
These glasses are likely made from standard soda-lime glass rather than tempered glass.
Are these glasses tempered or made from standard soda-lime glass?, making them more prone to breakage.
- Durability
Half of units fail within two months, even with handwashing.
Why this is supported
Customer reviews report frequent breakage:
The glasses are very pretty but the material is so thin, I bought 4 about 2 months ago and 2 of them have already broke.
Customer review, January 19, 2025This indicates a 50% failure rate within two months. The extreme thinness causes chipping and shattering even with handwashing, making the glasses unsuitable for daily use or high-traffic kitchens.
- Drink fit
Suited for water, juice, and neat spirits; not for iced cocktails.
Why this is supported
Buyer reviews report the glass is too small for iced cocktails, making it better for water, juice, or smoothies. The wide 2.75-inch mouth enhances aroma for neat spirits, as an expert source explains:
Its shape evolved from the fact that all traditional cocktails would have interesting aromas, and the large mouth allows the nose of the drinker to get close to the surface of the drink and fully enjoy its scent and taste.
bottleneckmgmt.comFor those seeking a smaller pour, the collection includes a smaller 'Les petits verres' set:

pinterest.com- Visual effect
Grooves scatter light, making drinks look more elegant.
Why this is supported
The glasses' fine vertical grooves scatter light, elevating the look of simple drinks. One observer notes:
guests often comment on the way light catches the ribs, making even simple iced coffee feel a touch more special.
cocktailshakersguide.com- Grip
Buyers report that the vertical grooves maintain a secure grip when wet from condensation or dishwasher residue.
Why this is supported
A reviewer from cocktailshakersguide.com states:
it gives me a secure hold that reduces the chances of the glass slipping from my hand. I noticed this particularly when handling cold, condensation-heavy drinks—my grip felt more confident compared with smooth-sided tumblers.
cocktailshakersguide.comIn a separate review on the same site, they also note:
I’ve run them through several dishwasher cycles without spotting or clouding.
cocktailshakersguide.comThis indicates the grooves resist residue buildup, preserving grip even after machine washing.
- Fragility
Several buyers report that the thin glass chips or breaks within weeks of use.
Why this is supported
Customer reviews highlight fragility: one reviewer remarks:
They almost appear plastic they are so light, but they are glass.
Customer review, January 18, 2025Another reports:
the material is so thin, I bought 4 about 2 months ago and 2 of them have already broke.
Customer review, January 19, 2025This suggests the thin construction leads to easy breakage.
- Aroma coupling
The 2.75-inch opening lets the nose approach the drink's surface for aroma enjoyment.
Why this is supported
bottleneckmgmt.com notes that
the large mouth allows the nose of the drinker to get close to the surface of the drink and fully enjoy its scent and taste.
bottleneckmgmt.com- Value
Priced at $20 CAD, these glasses combine dishwasher safety and a crystal-like texture, plus a secure grip that cheaper sets lack.
Why this is supported
At $20 CAD, this set sits between the $4.49 Core Home set (
$5.99$4.49
beallsflorida.com) and the $29.99 Viski Meridian crystal set (
$29.99 reg $51.99
target.com). Unlike the budget set, which requires hand washing (
- Hand wash
beallsflorida.com), these glasses are dishwasher safe. The fine grooved texture delivers the same crystal look, and the grooves also provide a secure grip:
The ribbing is not only decorative; it gives me a secure hold that reduces the chances of the glass slipping from my hand. I noticed this particularly when handling cold, condensation-heavy drinks—my grip felt more confident compared with smooth-sided tumblers.
cocktailshakersguide.comAs a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada, it adds a curated design narrative.
- Capacity
Small capacity (approx. 8-10 oz) suits water but not standard cocktails.
Why this is supported
The glasses' dimensions—5.5 inches tall and 2.75 inches in diameter—suggest a capacity of roughly 8-10 ounces. This makes them suitable for water or juice but small for standard cocktails, requiring frequent refills.
- Design story
Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada with matching collection items and praised by buyers for its contemporary look.
Why this is supported
The exclusive Canadian design includes a coordinated collection:
A smaller grooved glass set, listed as 'Les petits verres fines rainures Ensemble de 2,' scales the collection to juice, spirits, or compact water pours — keeping the same textured aesthetic across different drinkware sizes.
Matching items in the Fine Grooved collection — petits_verres_small_grooved_glassesBuyer reviews confirm the aesthetic appeal:
contemporary flair, feels good in your hand, and adds a little sparkle to the table.
Customer review, May 30, 2024- Practical features
Dishwasher safe and grooves provide non-slip grip on condensation-heavy drinks.
Why this is supported
A practical advantage is that these glasses are
these Simons Maison glasses are dishwasher safe
How the price compares to similar retro glasses — dishwasher_safe_convenience. Additionally, the vertical grooves improve grip on cold glasses:
The ribbing is not only decorative; it gives me a secure hold that reduces the chances of the glass slipping from my hand.
cocktailshakersguide.comThis practical feature reduces the likelihood of accidents with condensation-heavy drinks.
- Thermal sensitivity
Do not use hot liquids or microwave to avoid cracking.
Why this is supported
Standard soda-lime glass is sensitive to thermal shock, so the product's 'do not microwave' instruction is well-founded. The same material property applies to hot liquids:
The product explicitly states 'Do not put in the microwave', which is consistent with soda-lime glassware that cannot withstand microwave heat
Are these glasses tempered or made from standard soda-lime glass?—pouring boiling water or other hot liquids into these glasses could cause sudden cracking.
- Care
Dishwasher safe, but gentle cycle recommended to prevent breakage.
Why this is supported
The glasses are labeled dishwasher safe, and testing confirms they emerge without spotting or clouding:
I’ve run them through several dishwasher cycles without spotting or clouding.
cocktailshakersguide.comHowever, the glass is standard soda-lime,
These glasses are likely made from standard soda-lime glass rather than tempered glass.
Are these glasses tempered or made from standard soda-lime glass?which means they can still break from thermal stress or agitation. Using a gentle or air-dry cycle reduces this risk.
- Decorative appeal
Light-catching grooves make the glasses decorative display pieces with a non-slip grip.
Why this is supported
adds a little sparkle to the table.
Customer review, May 30, 2024Loved the look of the reeded glass on these glasses and thought they were so pretty.
Customer review, January 18, 2025The ribbing is not only decorative; it gives me a secure hold that reduces the chances of the glass slipping from my hand.
cocktailshakersguide.comThus, the glasses double as both a decorative display and a practical tumbler.
- Caveats
Buyers report thin glass breaks early, the 8 oz size is small, and the light feel seems plastic.
Why this is supported
The glasses are very pretty but the material is so thin, I bought 4 about 2 months ago and 2 of them have already broke.
Customer review, January 19, 2025They are very light weight and very thin so hoping they don't break.
Customer review, January 18, 2025They almost appear plastic they are so light, but they are glass.
Customer review, January 18, 2025Additionally, the approximate 8 oz capacity is smaller than expected for cocktails, a point mentioned in reviews.

These glasses are very thin. I don’t think they are very well made
Thin light glasses that I am sure will break easily. Very disappointing when u pay $10/glass
J’aime bien . Délicat.

For our bar
These are very pretty, and light as can be but they are on the small side for cocktails. I was hoping they’d be more like gin and tonic sized!
Elegant, practical and perfect for everyday use
The glasses are perfect for everyday drinks for water, smoothies and juice.
Belle qualité!
Accompagne parfaitement le pichet aux fines rainures. Verre très mince mais du bel effet!

Material too thin
The glasses are very pretty but the material is so thin, I bought 4 about 2 months ago and 2 of them have already broke.
Tellement beau!
Tellement beau que je les mets sur mes tablettes au lieu de l’armoire 💃🏼
Beautiful, sleek and fine.
Really like these lightweight glasses ~ a contemporary flair, feels good in your hand, and adds a little sparkle to the table.

a bit disappointed in the glass
Beautiful but delicate
I've bought 3 different versions of this glass now. Only because the last two versions (unavailable now) broke! They're so beautiful but very delicate. These ones seem to be slightly thicker / sturdier so I'm hoping they'll withstand my boyfriend putting them away / the dishwasher.
great product
dishwasher safe so easy to clean, super cute and good enough quality- feels a little more plasticky than glass, not sure about longevity
Se brise trop facilement
Verre tres faible. J’ai ete capable d’utiliser les verres que 2 fois avant qu’ils brisent

Really pretty and delicate
Loved the look of the reeded glass on these glasses and thought they were so pretty. I bought two sets as they were on sale. They are very light weight and very thin so hoping they don’t break. They almost appear plastic they are so light, but they are glass.
Trop gros
J’aime mieux ceux que j’avais acheté déjà avec des rainures plus délicat ! Je me suis pas méfié je pensais que c’était comme les 4 que j’ai déjà acheté !
Chic et élégant
J’aime beaucoup ces verres, ils sont légers et très jolis.
Stylish and functional
A good pick for your everyday glasses.

I have many sets of these glasses for my personal use and for gifts.
Tall glass
The product ad indicates that it's glass but it seems like plastic to me

Très beau produit, aurait aimé qu’il soit un peu plus gros.
Thin glass
Not only too thin of glass they are too small. Not happy with them at all.
