The Best Glassware to Display on Your Bar Cart

More AD-Approved Best Glassware

A first-time collaboration for Cabana, this partnership with the Grecian Benaki Collection brought about dinnerware that’s quite daring. This is a standard approach to the glassware, with a touch of whimsy thanks to the ochre (or green or pink) marble at the midpoint of the stem.

Soho Home Purton Highball Glass (Set of 4)

The color story of these cocktail glasses takes us to Soho House Mexico City, where pops of green are consistent throughout the property. The stemless, tapered form with generous strokes of pistachio green is a fresh take on traditional highballs.

Duralex Picardie Glass Tumbler (Set of 6)

This best-selling set from Duralex, the famed French glass house, is made for everyday use and can support anything from hot coffee to iced tea. They’re stackable, all-purpose, and likely a bit nostalgic for anyone who’s visited a French bistro or café.

Bormioli Rocco Bodega Glassware (Set of 12)

Bormioli Rocco, the prominent Italian glass manufacturer dating back to 1825, makes Amazon bestsellers too. The thin form of these 12-ounce tempered glass tumblers will make any drink look even better, and there’s enough in this set to accommodate a big dinner party.

Maison Balzac Pomponette Flute (Set of 2)

For the maximalists, the clear glass on these champagne flutes is punctuated with delightful jewel-toned bubbles. They’ll easily elevate and add interest to an otherwise simple tablescape, and you can nab the brand’s coordinating carafe to offer guests an alternative beverage to bubbly.

Toast Fluted Moroccan Glasses (Set of 6)

In place of traditional wine glasses, these fluted goblets offer a playful addition to your tablescape. Handblown in Morocco, each thick-walled glass showcases slight differences and air bubbles to honor the historic, artisan-led process. Use for water, wine, or anything in between—imagine a crisp martini with an olive in these.

Nickey Kehoe Yellow Straight Medium Glass

These Nickey Kehoe straight glasses are a vibrant take on traditional tumblers. Even water will taste better in their neon hues. Handblown in Michoacán, Mexico, each one is subtly unique, showcasing the artisan’s handiwork. If you wish to complete the set, they are also available in a miniature mezcal glass and a tall tumbler.

Arhaus Organic Highball Glasses (Set of 4)

Thanks to the indents around the middle of the glasses, these have a really satisfying handfeel. Highballs can often feel uncomfortable or too slippery when the condensation takes hold, but not with these from Arhaus. Made from recycled glass, each one is slightly different in feel and tone. The set of four is dishwasher safe and boasts a slight green hue.

One of commerce market editor Kate McGregor’s favorite glasses for everything from water to espresso tonics, the CB2 Marta collection is ultra-lightweight and thin. “They have a ‘barely-there’ handfeel that makes me feel quite elegant in a way I usually need a stemmed glass to evoke,” she says. “The 16-ounce size is large enough to ensure I’m not refilling my glass every hour, but not so much to be unwieldy or heavy when full.”

Pienza Multicolor Tall Tumblers (Set of 6)

Rather than write name tags, give each guest their own colored tumbler. This set of six from Il Buco Vita comes in an array of pastels, ideal for sprucing up your daily iced latte or after-work gin and tonic. Because of their delicate, handblown makeup, these aren’t dishwasher or microwave-safe.
