These are the smaller of the drinking glasses - roughly 8.5 ounces. Good condition. Superfest is \"unbreakable\" glass that is 15x stronger than normal glass. You can still break it, it is just harder to break and not as fragile as normal glass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTHE SUPERFEST STORY:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the mid-1970s, the DDR began to try to make conventional thin-walled commercial glass stronger and more heat-resistant. The goal was to have five times the lifespan of an ordinary drinking glass, but fifteen times lifespan was achieved. Other advantages included heat resistance, stackability, and lighter weight. The DDR regarded a super strong glass product as a key potential export and gave it priority for development. Originally called CEVERIT, the name was changed to Superfest to better appeal to foreign countries. However, Western countries were not interested in the idea of long-life glassware as it would be detrimental to their ability to sell replacements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction was initially limited to beer glasses but expanded to s\u003cspan\u003ehot glasses, sekt (wine) glasses, vases, ice cream cups, and more. \u003c\/span\u003eThe main customer for Superfest glasses was the hospitality sector in the DDR. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe also have the following Superfest items: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.warsendshop.com\/products\/superfest-small-shot-glass-2cl-4cl\"\u003eshot glass,\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.warsendshop.com\/products\/superfest-set-of-2-sekt-sparkling-wine-glasses\"\u003esekt (sparkling wine)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eand a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.warsendshop.com\/products\/superfest-set-of-2-5l-drinking-glasses-larger-size\"\u003elarger .5L version\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e of this \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003edrinking glasses, sold in sets of two.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"War's End Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46019271295174,"sku":"shelf B dunkin","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0187\/4100\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_04c2dbe1-bcb3-4c60-a7e9-e50def44612a.jpg?v=1783098832","url":"https:\/\/www.warsendshop.com\/products\/superfest-set-of-2-25l-drinking-glasses","provider":"War's End Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
