Bodum Assam Double-Wall Ice Tea Glasses, Set of 2

Winner of the prestigious European iF Design Award, the mouth-blown Assam glass exhibits Bodum's flair for the modern. Each 8-3/4-inch glass rises straight up like a tumbler, then flares at the top to a diameter of 3-3/4 inches. Mouth-blown of borosilicate glass, which is quite a bit thinner yet much more durable than regular glass, the two 20-ounce Assam glasses in this set are safe for both the microwave and dishwasher, resist temperature swings, and resist scratching and dulling. Care should be taken when placing ice cubes in an empty glass, and metal spoons for stirring are discouraged. --Ann Bieri

Editor's Note: Because each glass is mouth-blown, each one may have slight differences in height, thickness, and weight. Bodum recommends using care when placing ice into the glass to avoid fracturing the inner layer. You should also avoid using metal spoons or placing the glass into a crowded dishwasher.

The double wall creates a thermal effect, helping to keep your cold drinks cold and your hot drinks hot for longer periods of time. The Assam double wall glasses can be use the whole year round. You can use them for your cold drinks in summer and hot drinks in winter. They are made of a very strong but yet light weight glass (borosilicate glass). They can safely go in the dishwasher and microwave. No coaster needed.Bodum's insulated glassware is made from durable Borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a strong heat-resistant glass that weighs less than traditional glassware. Used to make scientific lab glass, borosilicate glass (medical grade glass) is stronger than traditional "soda-lime" glass and can be used for everything from drinkware to cookware. Some people may perceive the glass to be "thin" as they hold it. It is important to understand the difference between borosilicate and soda lime glass. Borosilicate glass doesn't need to be as thick as traditional glass to be just as strong. Boro
