Yes, the price is heavy, no question.

And also this question is allowed: Can glasses be worth that much at all?

Our answer is surprisingly unambiguous: 
Yes.

"TAKE THE GOOD GLASSES"

Zalto glasses are anything but everyday objects.

We actually only use these glasses when we have a special moment to celebrate, just like our grandmother used to bring out the "good" porcelain on special occasions.

***

One thing first: Zalto glasses MUST be carefully polished after rinsing - a Zalto glass with water stains simply isn't acceptable.

If you get involved in this process, this previously perhaps annoying duty becomes a truly enriching ritual, because polishing the glasses is simply and touchingly quite joyful: 
Perhaps because you get to know another aspect of glass through polishing, for which we don't have any words yet. Perhaps by polishing you can simply revive the previous precious moment which was worth the Zalto glasses. Or we are simply very prone to beautiful rituals.

Be that as it may: We have discovered that careful care after drinking is a consistently pleasant and relevant part of the product.
