Are these the Original Guinness Glasses as depicted and not the newer style 20 oz. glasses?

Yes, these are the original glasses. Very smooth to drink my favorite beer, Guinness, from. I have the newer version as well which are carved glass, taller and heavier than this version. The original glass is my preference.

I don't know, and I no longer have my original packaging to see if it states that they are. Sorry -

Yes these are Irish and I think they come with a free case of Guinness Beer.

No they aren't. This would normally bother me but not in this case. I love these glasses.

Not certain. Gave them as Christmas gifts. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I can say that the people I gave them to really seem to like the glasses.

Unfortunately, no. I have seen the "BREWED IN DUBLIN" on the older tulip glasses but these newer shaped tulip glasses do not. They have an embossed trademark harp on one side and a gold trademark harp with the established date 1759 and bold GUINNESS® On the other. Very beautiful design.

To me, they are a bit lighter in the hand, but for the price I was very pleased to have made the purchase. Mine are now all mixed together and I am probably the only one that could tell the older ones from the new.

Alas, unfortunately, they are. I have a set and I really like them. Just checked under a cup to check for your question, and they are clearly marked "made in China." It's a shame. :(

I can't speak of the authenticity. Glencarin glass is a style of glassware. These are indeed Glencarin glasses of great quality. Very solidly made. They are even etched in the bottom "the Glencarin glass". Are they made by Glencarin the company? Not sure. I assume so and the quality has not required me to question it. Plus, the price is right.... How can you go wrong??

Yes they are originals. Watch out for those marked "Re-manufactured" though, they are not quite the bargain they appear to be.

From the picture displayed they look like they are. I had the same ? when I made my purchase. I did read a review that said he received original. I already had tried both. I was hoping for the newer model thinking they would be better. However in my package of 5, one sprung a leak the first week anyway. I made have scraped it on the edge. I still have some originals from 3 yrs ago so I don't think it matters which you get. The color fades faster on the newer generation.

Hi,They are glass, but, very, very basic. I purchased them for a casual party and I am now inclined to just give them away or toss them out. They are not special. I differ in the previous person's assessment of the glasses. Of course, I love Baccarat crystal glasses so I am probably being on fair in comparing apples to oranges. So you may want to consider your needs. For a simple casual party, they were nicer than plastic BUT not too much better than that.

Maybe you got counterfeits? Last I knew the real ones were made in Ireland but designed in Germany. The Counterfeits are close to the original in looks and sound.

There are slight differences in the shape and actual glass clarity. My originals are a slightly amber color and the new are very clear glass. Also I think that the new break easier than my originals and the logo print is not the same.

There is no manufacturer's mark on the 21oz glasses that I purchased. They are clear glass.

As far as I know they are? Are there any discerning marks or noticeable pieces that would stand out? They do look different than the knock-offs I ordered from China.

The one I received, they were both glass. I would be a little concerned they listed both, I hadn't noticed that unless they changed the design.
