The black amethyst glass looks black unless you look at it through a bright light. I have several sets of glasses I keep in my china cabinet. I find joy in just looking at them or handling them and enjoying their craftsmanship. I would shit if one broke and I didn't have a complete set. Plus, who knows what they used to make that glass back in the day. They might be lethal. I don't want mercury or another heavy metal to slowly leach into my system and end up pissing in my pants before I'm 50. That would suck.
I have a set like these:
and a few other sets (some are black ruby glass). I use the wine glasses rarely if I have some really good wine.
I'm pretty mellow and free with most of my belongings, but a few things I don't let people mess with. I want to keep them nice and sometimes other people don't have respect for other people's belongings. I would hate to have to fuck someone up because they got drunk and broke a glass. I'm not violent, but I think I wouldn't like them after that as much.
