Stemware

18th century stemware from the museum at Frederiksborg Palace, Denmark

Stemware is drinkware that stands on stems above a base. It is usually made from glass, but may be made from ceramics or metals. The stem allows the drinker to hold the glass without affecting the temperature of the drink.[1]

Stemware includes:

  • Absinthe glasses
  • Champagne flutes
  • Chalices and goblets
  • Cocktail glasses (including martini glasses and margarita glasses)
  • Liqueur glasses
  • Rummers
  • Snifters
  • Wine glasses
