Hand made beautiful cut crystal glasses from the republic of Belarus. 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 holders "podstakannik" are designed in the old tradition and are dishwasher safe. The glasses fit the holders perfectly as they were designed as a set.
