• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

So that just leaves drinking glasses.

We have some special ones we purchased on our Honeymoon back in 1996, in Stockholm, Sweden. They are handmade from recycled glass. Until very recently, we did have the information leaflet that came with them, but it is not there inside them anymore. We love them, and they are very definitely special occasions only.

Bought in Stockholm on our honeymoon back in 1996. they are handmade and not dishwasher proof...


After that, our general drinking glasses are some old Jacobian glasses, some handmade and some machine made around the time of WWII.
Breaking them can be "interesting" and best not done in bare feet as I found out the hard way a few years ago.

Otherwise the rest are a mixture of inherited, cheap and cheerful and all are large because of the need to drink more liquid in hot climates.

So what is your glass collection like? It is something people use everday. Are they boring or special? hold memories or just easily replaceable?

I actually got some very nice wine glasses, but rowdy dogs, so I don't use those much
 
I don't have any "special drinking glasses" or even many (if any) glasses period. I don't count the Crystal Wine Glasses as they are never used due to neither my wife nor I being wine drinkers. Anyway - I do have my coffeee cup - a Harely Davidson mug that my OH bought for me when I first got my bike greif, 12 or 13 years ago ... :)
