Set of 6 Russian etched crystal glasses with podstakanniks (metal holders), from the travels of Irene Blanchard. Suitable for hot or cold liquids. They also work well as trattoria glasses for serving table wines Italian style! 

An old Russian tradition of tea drinking during a long train ride required being able to hold a glass filled with hot tea. These glasses fit a metal glass holder "podstakannik" or they can be used by themselves. A beautiful design on the glass is sure to decorate your dinner table. The glasses fit the holders perfectly as they were designed as a set.

Glasses are approximately 8oz, and 4.75" tall.
