Barware: Gorgeous Glassware
Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 12/1/2006
Party-pretty glasses debut with an eye to sipping in style. Sophisticated shapes, jewel tones and lush patterns add just enough detail to take the classic cocktail to spectacular stems.
Cleo, a handblown crystal collection from Union Street Glass, accentuates elegant stemware and rocks glasses with double onyx disks ($42 to $52).
Offered in flutes, martinis and goblets, the Mirage stem-ware from Abbott suspends a hand-painted prism on each stem for a vibrant, jeweled effect ($20 each).
Classic lionshead motifs and rope trim in 22K gold lend the stamp of luxury to Abigail's handmade double old-fashioned glasses ($43 each).
Exotic flora and fauna converge with chinoiserie-style splendor in Manorisms International's sandblasted On The Rocks glassware ($55, set of four).
Slender cylinders boost the bubble-viewing appeal of Roost's Fern & Frond champagne glasses ($12).
