Opinion- how much should I care about this (re: cocktail glass)

Pages: (1/5) > >>

Well Fed Games:

OK, need opinions on this:

Went to a local glass shop to get a glass top for a cocktail I am building. Had everything I wanted written down for them. Aside from not offering a tint dark enough for my liking, the glass came out great. Got it home, realized it had a some info etched into one of the corners (tiny logo, tempered glass, ANSI information, etc.). Probably whole etched area is like 3/4" x 1/2" and will not be covered by the cocktail clips, and I am planning on black underneath so no art to hide it.

So, worth making a fuss over? Glass was $100 (which felt high although I have nothing to compare it to) and I left the shop with my specifications that said "no logos/printing on glass," and had indicated that it was for a table top. Basic online research indicates that getting glass without the etched info can be done.

What would you do? Roll with it or make a return? Anybody have a similar experience with a "watermark" on their cocktail glass?

Rick:

If I was planning on going back for more, I might mention it. If it's a one time thing, I don't think I'd complain. Maybe that's just me, though.

yotsuya:

Is it a custom size?

JDFan:

Looks to be small enough and located close to the corner so it shouldn't interfere with anything - so I wouldn't worry about it ( On the bright side if it ever breaks you'll know what to order for replacement ! )

DeLuSioNal29:

I would go back and complain about it, especially if you wrote it down.

Then I would do one of 2 things:
1)  Get them do it over without the logo.
OR
2)  Work out a discounted price on the existing glass with the logo (which will save both of you money).

The second option would only be if you can live with the logo.  (perhaps mount it face down and use a sharpie to black it out?)

Either way, you paid for a product that you didn't get.  Chances are, they will go for option # 2, since option # 1 will cost them more money.
