Most glassware cabinets are filled with more of the same: standard clear vases tucked away for the odd flower delivery, plastic pitchers that have housed a few too many liters of homemade lemonade, and default glasses that could hold anything from water to wine to digestifs. It’s practical, sure, but why waste the cabinet space when these functional items could double as pieces of art?
