Smoke Grey Pressed Glass Footed Goblets, Set of Four

Coloured glass is one of the easiest ways to give a table personality, and these four footed goblets do it in the loveliest smoke grey. Each is pressed with an allover diamond pattern that catches and refracts the light beautifully, set on a short pedestal foot that lifts the shape and gives it a touch of occasion. They stand 11.5 x 8 cm, a versatile size that works as a generous water glass, a wine or cocktail goblet, or even a dessert and sundae glass when you want the table to feel a little special.

The smoke grey tone is wonderfully flattering, soft and smoky against white china, warm against wood, and quietly striking alongside brass, candlelight and darker table linen. It suits a modern table and a more traditional one equally, which is part of why coloured glass in this shade has become such a favourite for entertaining. They come to you in good order with plenty of sparkle, shown closely in the photographs so you can see the finish and pattern in full.

A set of four is a practical number to have to hand. Lay them for supper with friends, mix them in with clear glass for a relaxed, collected look, or keep them out on a tray with a decanter so they are ready whenever someone calls round. Footed glasses always feel a little more considered than a plain tumbler, and this diamond pattern brings texture and light to whatever you pour.

Buy them as a ready set for the table or as handsome everyday glasses that lift the ordinary. Coloured pressed glass like this brings colour, texture and a sense of welcome to a home.
