Viski Stemmed Martini Glasses Set of 2 9oz Crystal Review (2026)

Who these glasses are for

These martini glasses are aimed at people who want a genuine step up from basic bar glassware, with a fine crystal build and a classic stemmed silhouette rather than a stemless or novelty shape. The 9oz capacity is on the larger side for a martini glass, which suits a full shaken martini or cosmopolitan without the drink sitting right at the rim, and it gives room for garnishes like an olive or a twist without crowding. Because the set includes only two glasses, it fits a couple or a small gathering better than it fits regular larger-group entertaining, where you would need to buy a second set to have enough glasses on hand. Anyone drawn to Viski's design language across its other barware will find these glasses pair naturally with the rest of a coordinated home bar.

What the crystal and design deliver

The glasses are made from lead-free crystal, which gives a bright, clear look without the health concerns associated with older leaded crystal glassware, while still offering the fine rim and clarity crystal is known for over ordinary glass. The design uses a triangular martini profile with a more modern, refined edge rather than a strictly traditional cone shape, giving the glasses a slightly updated look while remaining clearly recognizable as classic martini glassware. Each glass sits on a stem, which keeps a warm hand away from the bowl and helps a cold martini or cosmopolitan stay chilled longer during a conversation. At 9oz, the bowl is roomier than many standard martini glasses, which some drinkers appreciate for a fuller pour and others find larger than they want for a classic, smaller-format martini.

Using and caring for crystal glasses

Day to day, crystal glassware like this calls for a bit more care than everyday glass, and hand washing is the recommended approach rather than routine dishwasher cycles, since dishwasher detergent and heat can dull crystal's clarity and shine over repeated washes. The stemmed design also means slightly more careful handling when washing and drying, since a thin stem is more fragile than a stemless tumbler-style glass. For special occasions, dinner parties or a quiet cocktail hour, the extra care is a reasonable trade for glassware that looks and feels noticeably nicer than everyday barware. Storing them stem up in a cabinet or a dedicated glass rack helps avoid chips at the rim, which is the most vulnerable point on any stemmed glass.

How they compare with other martini glasses

Against the Biandeco vintage-style set of 6, which offers more glasses at a smaller 8.1oz size with an Art Deco look, Viski's pair trades quantity for a larger pour and a more contemporary silhouette. The ELIXIR GLASSWARE set of 2 at the same 9oz size is a close match in scope, also hand-blown crystal, so the choice between the two often comes down to specific shape preference and brand fit with existing barware. Larger sets like the Libbey 12-piece option or the SHYRC set of 7 prioritize having enough glasses for a full party over the premium feel of fine crystal, which is the trade-off across this entire category between glass count and glass quality.

Verdict and who might want a bigger set

These are a strong pick for anyone who wants a genuine upgrade in martini glassware and does not need more than a couple of glasses at once, and our score of 8.0 out of 10 reflects excellent build quality balanced against a higher price for a small set. Choose them if you host intimate cocktail hours or want a special pair for a couple's home bar, and are willing to hand wash crystal to keep it looking its best. Look at a larger, more affordable set instead if you regularly host bigger groups and need enough matching glasses for everyone without buying multiples of a premium pair. For a refined martini experience, this Viski set delivers.
