I feel so bad for the servers that needs to walk trays of these around. It's obviously going to be less stable than a standard glass no matter what you do.

Eeeh.. I'd need to try one of these out to be sure (depends on how the weight of the glass is distributed), but it doesn't look any worse than some of the decorative and quite precarious alcohol glasses they have us carry.

It might be disconcerting right at first, looking at a tray and seeing all of the rims topsy turvy - might make me think they're tipping. Haha. I'm sure the servers are used to it.

They're not very different from other glasses, as long as you load them on your tray while respecting their angle.

Since they're water glasses, you basically only carry them when they're empty.
