Drinkware 2019 Winter-Spring
Drinkware for Every Need
ArteeVita
This is the Esty.com store for Karen Sabatello’s Arte & Vita (Art & Life) business. Karen is a self taught artist who has been enthralled by decorative painting since childhood. She says that giving something old new life gives them even more character. She’s been painting for over 25 years, focusing on topics that reflect her interests and passions. Her hand painted wine glasses are among the most beautiful we have seen. She is also happy to personalize her art.
Find these amazing hand painted glasses and more at AV DRINK.
Crate & Barrel
If you’re serving spirits, the updated classic drinkware collections above are just the thing. On the left is the Hatch collection. The glass is molded to resemble cut crystal, which must have been invented to compliment good whisky. On the right is the Price collection of blown glass that’s made in Europe for Crate & Barrel. The glasses are finished with a hand painted band of platinum.
The pictures above features the Tour collection from Schott Zweisel. The Tritan glass is break, chip & scratch resistant, and oh so elegant. Find these and more in Crate & Barrel stores or online at CB SPIRITS.
Crate & Barrel consistently stocks wine glasses that will meet all your needs. This suite of traditional red and white wine glasses for each of their varietals are hand-crafted in Europe. Between those are contemporary, basic glasses for white, red and sparkling wine. This is a small part of their overall wine glass selection. Find them all at CB WINE.
The row above features a different kind of drinkware in each picture. All can be found in CB stores or online (links follow).
It seems like everywhere you look there’s a new craft brewery. If you like to try and then share your newest finds, the tasting glass set on the left above makes it easy to keep track of the various styles with bottle cap numerals for ales, pilsners, lagers and stouts (or you can use your own designations). It comes with an acacia wood serving tray. Find this beer tasting set online at CB BEER.
In the center are Crate & Barrel’s own “Bitty Bites” glasses. While these are pictured with tasting size soup servings, they are actually contemporary styled shot glasses. The “tall” Bitty Bites are perfect for regular shots. The short glasses will accommodate both a shot and a single cube of ice, for those who want both at the same time. See the bitty bite glasses at CB CORDIAL GLASSES.
In the picture on the right, the Oba large pitcher is hand made in Turkey. It beautifully showcase punches and any cocktails that can be heavily garnished with fruits or herbs. Find this and more pitchers at CB PITCHERS.

World Market
World Market grew from a San Francisco businessman selling imported hand-woven wicker from one of the city’s piers in the 1950s to over 259 stores nationwide today. They specialize in original and handmade items from around the world sold at great prices in their stores and online.
All the collections shown above include pitchers. From left to right, there is the Blue Rocco Collection including wine and cocktail glasses. The Marbled Carmen collection also includes wine and cocktail glasses. It’s made from recycled glass and hand blown in Mexico. The acrylic Seagrass wrapped collection at the right includes only the pitcher, a double old fashioned glass and a highball glass. Whether you’re having a cocktail party or the neighbors over for drinks, these collections make the occasions feel special.
The Acapulco glass pitcher and collection of glass decanters in the top row dress up ordinary wine, spirits and cocktails nicely. The addition of metal in the Gold Faceted Barware collection makes a higher quality statement for whatever it contains. Stemless wine glasses with copper are also shown.
The glasses in the left picture above are part of the Gold Rimmed Bubble collection. A champagne flute glass, coupe glass, double old fashioned and wine glass are shown. On the right, the wine glasses are part of the Gold Rim collection, and are mouth blown in the Czech Republic.
Glasses in the top row are patterned. On the left are gold patterned double old fashioned glasses, sold in a set of 4. On the right is the Plum Blossom highball glass, sold in a set of 4. Glasses on the left in the 2nd row are a Tasting collection. They are essentially shot glasses in different shapes with each shape sold in boxes sets of 6. They do nicely as dessert tasting glasses as well. In the middle are more shot glasses, also sold as a set, which are each named for popular cocktails sold as shots. The glasses on the right are stackable glasses. They are sold in sets of 4 and include left to right double old fashioned, juice and highball glasses. This group of glasses can variously be described as sophisticated, fun, beautiful and convenient; that’s pretty much every reason you might want drinkware, and this is just a sample of what’s available.
These beautiful glasses are from the Moroccan Collection. On the left are double old fashioned glasses with a traditional design against smoky glass (sold as a set of 4, each 15 ounce capacity), and on the right stemless wine glasses with copper-hued embellishments (sold as a set of 3, each 16 ounce capacity). They are both made in Morocco. Moroccan Tea glasses (6 ounces capacity) are also available in a set of 6. Note, Moroccan tea is traditionally served hot in small glasses (as these are). Any of these glasses would be a lovely accompaniment to Moroccan dishes, but they can actually be used for wine, cocktails, juice or water just to brighten up the table.
The wine glass collections above provide a good idea of the range of styles available at World Market. In the top row from left to right are Speakeasy collection, the Stemless collection and the Vintner collection. In the bottom row, from left to right are the Napa Tritan Collection, the Connoisseur Crystal collection and the Riedel Vivant Chrystal collection. And this is just a sample.
Find these drinkware items and much more in World Market stores or online at WM DRINK.
