Lolita Wine Glass Display at Hallmark
Walking the mall the other day, I stopped in at the Hallmark Store (by the way, look for $5 off Hallmark Gold Crown coupons) where I spotted this display of “Love my Wine” wine glasses by Lolita®.
Like the designer’s other glasses, each hand painted wine glass features a design inspired by a delicious wine cooler recipe — a recipe which is hand painted on the bottom of the glass!
The line of fun glassware was inspired by a girls’ night out, when Lolita watched each of her friends select a different martini which reflected their distinct individual personalities and she thought the glasses they drank those individual beverages from should be equally unique and fun. Now the line includes so much more than martini glasses. There are pilsner glasses, champagne flutes, margarita glasses, shot glasses and even glasses for hot beverages. The line has expanded to include sundae bowls, decanters, cocktail shakers, flasks, bottle stoppers, bottle bags, cocktail napkins, boxed recipe cards, games, and ornaments. Many Lolita designs feature holiday, birthday, and other celebration themes, perfect for special occasions.
Collecting Lolita glassware and designs is so much more than just ‘getting the next piece’ — it’s a way to collect memories of special occasions, special friends, and special moments.
According to the designer’s website, a listing or offering of retired designs is coming soon.

I recently found out that her glasses are handpainted in China (probablly by under-age factory workers) and then shipped in bulk back to the U.S. Personally, I would rather purchase something made in the U.S. by a hardworking “real” artist. Just my opinion.

To DMARIE, what do you expect, the artist to sit there and paint 4 million glasses by herself? She originally did paint the glasses but her business grew. She is an American artist that made it on her talent. She should be praised for her accomplishments not ridiculed for being a success.
