Drinking Glasses

608 Results
Whether you choose to call them tumblers, glasses or cups, no dining collection is complete without a set of good drinking glasses. Multifaceted, everyday drink glasses can be used for the beverage of your choice, from milk to juice and everything in between. This versatility makes them a great purchase for any household, but don’t think that just because they’re meant for everyday use that you need to buy mundane drinking glasses.

What is the best material for drinking glasses?


When it comes to finding the perfect drinking glass for your collection, start by picking the right material. Glass and crystal feel solid in your hand and can make a distinctive impression on guests, however, they also run the highest risk of chipping and cracking if not handled with care. If you don’t want to worry about chips and cracks, acrylic or plastic drinking cups would be a better option, plus there are lots of styles that closely mimic the look of glass. Other materials, such as porcelain or metal, are great if you’re going to a certain look or trying to match other dinnerware.

What features should I look for in a drinking glass?


Be sure to choose a style that is easy to hold onto and drink from. Tall and narrow glasses are easy to hold, but can be knocked over more easily, so look for shorter glasses with heavier bases if this is a concern for you. Since this will be your everyday glassware, it’s wise to choose a set that is dishwasher-safe — save the hand washing for your special occasion drinkware. If you drink a lot of cold beverages, consider getting insulated drinking cups so that they stay cool longer and your hands don’t freeze while holding them.
