The history of crystalware and glassware goes back hundreds of years. They were initially used to store light in temples and palaces. However, they soon became popular with common people who wanted items that were unusual and beautiful at the same time. Today, they still have the same purposes as they did on ancient tables. In fact, even though crystalware and glassware are mostly used for special occasions, they are now often seen in everyday living rooms, too, as they make beautiful decorations.

There are different types of crystalware and glassware, depending on their use. Some of the most common include China or teacup glasses, which can be used to serve tea, coffee, or other beverages, and dinner wine or champagne cups, which are ideal to be used to serve alcoholic drinks. Other types include shot glasses and champagne flutes, which can be used to serve very fine champagne or wine as well as other bubbly beverages.
