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:

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