I've used it a few times since I got it, and it's a very beautiful glass. I believe this is likely the lowest price being sold for. You can feel the thickness and solid weight, and it has a transparency that gives it a quality similar to Made in USA products. I'm not sure of the country of origin, but I think it's a very good glass. I think it would create a great atmosphere for shochu on the rocks or as a whiskey tumbler. I will ship it securely packaged. Thank you very much. m(_ _)m
