SGHR Sugahara
Chiba, Japan
When we heard that Sugahara’s stunning glassware has been handcrafted by master artisans in Japan, since 1932, we weren’t surprised. Their pieces showcase impeccable attention to detail, with rich colors and delicate designs that capture the natural beauty of glass. It’s all wonderfully functional, too (exhibit A: their night carafe with a tailor-made tumbler nestled right on top).

Little ghost glasses
These glasses are so finely blown there's almost nothing between you and the wine as it slips over the edge. The stemless design makes them seem less breakable than a classic fine-stemmed glass so we've been using these almost nightly, not just for special occasions. I wasn't sure what size a "normal" glass is, so I got the 8oz and it's smaller than I'm used to. The small size is cute to hold though! It funnels the aromas of whites and light to medium bodied reds beautifully. If you prefer big, bold reds, definitely get the larger size.
