What defines decorative wine glasses?
You could think of decorative glasses in the sense of anything not within the bounds of ordinary clean-line traditional clear glass designs. It’s really a catch-all for any wine glass that has visually interesting features or a shape that’s not overly common. Whether that’s more angular, ridged, tinted, engraved or a peculiar form. We have sourced a selection of interesting, unique and stylish wine glasses. Find our favourites below.
Our 5 favourite decorative wine glasses
Olton Wine Glass – Soft Green
The Olton Wine Glass is memorable with a striking design featuring angular lines and a gorgeous soft green tint. The glass will work especially well against white table cloths and in the brighter daylight of summer time. A splash of red wine would work especially well with this glass, but it isn’t limited to reds. Cocktails or even sparkling wine should be considered too.
Carleton White Wine Glass
The ornate feel of the Carleton White Wine Glass is only helped by the rippled diamond glass design. The Carleton range offers proudly vintage decorative wine glasses of sophistication and style, perfect for hosting or for giving any dining table a touch of character. They’re aching to be filled with a favourite tipple.
Coniston Bourgogne Wine Glass
The ridges of this Coniston Bourgogne Wine Glass set it apart from the rest. Made from mouthblown glass and intricately detailed, it’s stunningly unique. The subtle grooves surrounding the outside of the glass add an alluring sense of style, informed by the roaring 1920’s, and it therefore oozes glamour and a certain decadence. This piece is anything other than simple, and will undoubtedly impress for entertaining and beyond.
Melbury Wine Glass - Amber
The Melbury Wine Glass Amber fits the decorative wine glasses mold perfectly, epitomised by warm tones that are derived from golden amber and caramel colours. The subtle amber colours slowly transition into a cool crystal clear glass. The gorgeous transition of shade and tint in the body of the glass will stick in the memory.
Melbury Red Wine Glass - Smoke
Crafted from delicate, and detailed, mouthblown glass, the Melbury Red Wine Glass is the large red wine glass that your home glassware collection desires. This classy product demands to be the center of attention on your table, with its stunning smoke grey to clear hue.
