glass with a tea glass holder "Podstakannik". The metal absorbs the heat of the boiling water so the glass never breaks and the tea is kept warm. It is always special to drink tea the Russian way and it is becoming more popular in America and Western Europe. This Tea Glass Holder is made of German silver, and would make the perfect match for any of our crystal glasses.
