The glass (ware) of 2021

With party season in full swing, colourful glassware is having its moment. A decorative vessel can dress up a simple gin and tonic, elevate a fruit juice to something exotic and sophisticated, and brighten up a table with splashes of mismatched hues and patterns. There are iridescent flutes and pink-tinted coupes for fizz, tumblers speckled with colourful confetti or swirled with mouth-blown Murano glass, and crystal martini glasses with art deco elegance.
