It’s easy to overlook your drinking glass collection in a society where everyone carries tumblers and water bottles like security blankets. After all, why would you grab for anything smaller and more delicate when such big vessels exist to stimulate appropriate hydration? But, if your drinking glasses have long been an afterthought, there’s a good reason to start worrying about these ordinary vessels. Drinking glasses can be just as chic and attractive as cocktail or wine glasses, despite their lack of specialness.

Drinking glasses don’t have to come in bold colors or designs to make a statement. Case in point: This 16-piece set of tumblers and rocks glasses, which includes eight of each vessel. And if you’re only in the market for one type of glass, tumblers or rocks glasses, no sweat; you can opt for 8-piece sets of one style, as well.

Thick Marbled Glasses With Welcome Heft
Ilaria DOF Glasses, Set of 4
