Vintage Style Glass Pitcher and Tumbler Sets - Designer Decor

Glass pitcher and tumblers sets are an elegant and creative way to introduce new vibrancy to your tableware collection. Pitchers have been a popular choice for serving beverages throughout history and glass pitchers are especially wonderful because they are available in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and styles so they can coordinate with your existing tableware. Originally pitchers were made out of heavy pottery (or even metal) which was not only difficult construct but didn’t allow users the opportunity to see how much liquid was left in the container. When glass blowing was invented it made it possible to create beautiful transparent large bellied vessels with a handle attached – a task that would have been impossible to cast prior to this.

Glass pitcher and tumblers sets are a beautiful to enhance any table setting. The wide variety of designs, sizes and colors makes them a versatile addition. Unlike plastic pitchers and tumblers which can warp or discolor over time, the color of these pitchers comes directly from natural minerals added to the glass (true colored glass) and the color cannot fade or wash off the glass. Popular colors for these sets include Ruby Red, Amethyst Carnival Glass, Marigold, Vaseline, Cobalt Blue, Crystal Clear, Crystal Opalescent, Emerald Green, and Depression Pink.

Glass pitcher and tumbler sets are produced today – allowing you to incorporate their designs into your collection. It is a simple way to enhance an existing theme or create a whole new design for your table. It is important to remember a few tips when replacing older dinnerware with glassware however. First, some glass pitchers and tumblers do weigh more than plastic pitchers and tumblers so they may too heavy for some family members or friends to handle. Second, it is important to care for your glassware correctly. Glass can break when it is transferred from a cold to a hot environment (example: refrigerator to a dishwasher or filled with hot water).

Glass pitcher and tumbler sets are readily available online as well as in many home magazines. Search for glass construction and be sure to ask questions. Are these items dishwasher safe? Are they available in any other colors? Can more tumblers be purchased separately? When upgrading your tableware collection with glassware you can be sure different patterns and colors will tie themselves together nicely and create a beautiful theme on your table. These pitcher and tumbler sets are available online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they offer free design assistance and help.
