Whether serving drinks to your closest family and friends or trying to impress at a party, choosing the right vessel for your beverages is paramount to creating the right impression. Presenting a drink in the right manner has been shown to actually have an influence upon the drinker's perception of the flavour, colour and aroma of the liquid, and when using luxury glassware pieces, the status of the drink can be exponentially elevated. If you are searching for the perfect glassware to add to your home bar collection, here are some luxurious items that are sure to delight.
Pewter Stemmed Martini Glass
There is only one true way to drink a Martini and that is from a traditionally shaped Martini glass. With its classic shape and pewter stem, this glass conjures up the feel of a bygone era and enhances the appearance of the drink. Even better, the pewter base actually reflects more light into the cocktail, making it look even more appealing and adding to the romance of the beverage.
The Kate Moss Champagne Coupe
An alternative to the more traditional champagne flute, the coupe is allegedly designed after the shape of Marie Antoinette's left breast. This modern take on the classic glass has been modelled on Kate Moss' left breast in honour of the supermodel's fortieth birthday and to celebrate her 25th year as an icon of the fashion industry. This coupe, designed by Jane McAdam Freud, has been given a contemporary overhaul with an elongated frame, thinner stem and an etched bowl that has a beautiful art-deco pattern.
Baccarat Harmonie Tumbler
The tumbler is a key piece in any glassware collection and nothing is more stylish or functional than one made from crystal. The Baccarat Harmonie tumbler has adopted a minimalist design with a simple silhouette that is formed from beautifully clear crystal that perfectly captures the light, illuminating the drink within to its best advantage. This luxury glassware has the ability to make the simplest drink truly special.

Cut crystal glassware is infinitely stylish and is perfect for use at all kinds of occasions, but especially at formal events where its sophisticated appearance lends an extra special feel.

Hill's Standard in Ireland by Scholten & Baijings, using high tech, innovative methods of cutting at varying depths to create patterned layers that give this glassware a modern and new feel.

Made from three of the highest quality materials – diamonds, sterling silver and crystal, this gorgeous glassware is the ideal way to celebrate and when viewed in the right light, the brilliant-cut diamonds even take on the colouration of the champagne itself.
Alexander Wang Gold Shot Glasses

Presented in their own attractive black snakeskin zipped pouch, they can easily be transported so that you can impress your friends or family wherever you may be sampling a fine liqueur.
Lobmeyr Series B Champagne Cups
A toast with a fine champagne marks out an occasion as truly special, and now the Series B glassware line, first created in 1914 has been revived as a sophisticated way to celebrate. Originally designed for the Werkbund Exhibition in Cologne, Germany by Josef Hoffman just before the outbreak of the First World War, this series of beautiful glassware has now been recreated exactly to their original specification with linear black etched patterns over matte finished Muslin Glass that has been blown to a maximum thickness of just 1.1 millimetres. These glasses make the ideal choice for anyone with an interest in historical glassware with a contemporary twist.
Amour Silver & Gold Cognac Beaker
Widely believed to be one of the most complex spirits in existence, a fine cognac deserves to be served in an exotic vessel, and no vessel is more beautiful or luxurious than the Amour Cognac Beaker. Designed by Puiforcat of Paris, this gorgeous beaker has been made from fine sterling silver and is lined with a combination of gold, silver and precious metals which have been designed to perfectly enhance the colour of the drink itself. Its unique shape also enhances and preserves the Cognac's aromas, while its lid becomes a pedestal.
Sterling Silver Mint Julep Tumbler
Nothing conjures up the decadence of America's Deep South than a Mint Julep cocktail and the design of this beautiful cup originates in the United States' most southerly states. Traditionally made from pewter and silver, these delightful vessels were seen as a status symbol and featured prominently at christenings, weddings and horse races. This fancy Mint Julep tumbler was made by famous brand Tiffany's and is a five inch cup made from sterling silver and featuring fine beading that sets this vessel apart from its rivals.
