Why You Need Colored Glassware on Your Spring Table

| | |

I love setting tables for spring! It’s fun, and I especially love how colored glassware can enhance your spring table.

Today, I am sharing all of my colored glassware and ways you can use it when setting tables for spring. I have been collecting colored glassware for a very long time. Three pink glasses are vintage, and the other cost $6 on Amazon. Can you guess which is the new one?

Pink Colored Glassware

You are right if you guessed the pink drinking glasses pictured above. I immediately found these pink glasses on Amazon and fell in love with them. They come in two sizes and multiple colors. And they cost $6 each.

three pink glasses, one with a gold rim, one with texture and one that is original cranberry glass.

Recently, I added tall pinkish-red wine goblets to my collection. I love the gold rim on the top.

Don’t these glasses look fabulous on this table? I love how the light catches them.

How to Use Colored Glass on Your Spring Table

I wanted to share how much I love using my pink-colored glassware. Here are just a few of the tables I have created!

Green Colored Glassware

These green glasses are the best. I use them all year long, and they are not only great to use but also look fabulous.

Green is a great option if you want to add one color to your glassware collection. Just look at some of the tables I have created using green glassware.

Amber Colored Glassware

Last year, I bought some Amber highball glasses, and I think I underestimated how perfectly they would look on my tables!

I use them all of the time.

They are subtle, yet they add a lot to every table. They also work very well with any brass or gold tableware.

My Favorite Colored Glassware – Vintage Cranberry Glass

The deep pink classes are vintage and are referred to as Cranberry glass. I love to collect vintage cranberry glass! Isn’t the color just amazing?

What is cranberry glass?

My Obsession with Cranberry Glass

Cranberry glass or Gold Ruby glass is a red glass made by adding gold salts or colloidal gold to molten glass. Tin, in the form of stannous chloride, is sometimes added in tiny amounts as a reducing agent. Unfortunately, cranberry glass can be pretty expensive.

How much does it cost?

Generally, cranberry glass carries a pretty high price tag — though smaller or less intricate pieces can be found for less than $100 for an entire set. Exceptionally made pieces with lots of detail will likely be more costly, while those with simpler or imperfections will be cheaper. Depression glasses can usually be found for $20 – $40 for a small set.

If you want to shop for cranberry glass, shop here. I did a bit of shopping myself and found some well-priced sets of vintage cranberry glasses available now!

Neutral Colored Glassware

We all need neutral glassware, so I grabbed a few of my favorites to share. All of these are from Amazon and look great on their own, mixed or mixed with colored glassware.

Here, you can see how much I love to use this glassware on my tables.

  1. Leslie your site is spot on ALL the time! The refreshing experience greets me with open arms. It’s easy, personal, relaxed, over communicated, and the included list to find items I may want to purchase is a click away. I wish I had been connected to your posts since day one. Thank you for what you do Leslie. KC

  2. I ordered the pink drinking glasses last year on Amazon after seeing them on one of your posts. I love them. They are very nice glasses and friends cannot believe that they are not vintage. Love all of your table settings. Beautiful serving pieces and place settings are one of my weaknesses.

  3. My god Leslie they are all so beautiful. I would never be able to decide which glasses to use, and would ultimately end up drinking water straight from the tap.

  4. Leslie,
    I too LOVE colored glasses on the table. Your collection of pink glassware are so beautiful! Those cranberry colored glasses are calling my name as are the pink ones with the gold rim. My grandmother gave me some cut crystal goblets from Germany in multiple colors they are so fun to use in the spring. Like you said colored glasses are amazing when the light hits them. Great post! I am going to link to your post so my readers can see all your gorgeous glassware ideas.
    Here is one of my favorite romantic tablescapes I put together with pink goblets. I use these goblets all the time but I think I might need a few more after seeing all of yours 🥰https://karinskottage.com/2022/01/easy-valentine-table-decor-tips.html

    Hugs,
    Karin

    1. Hi Karin! They always just look so pretty. Oh those sound beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing, that is so kind ☺️ Haha can never have too many pretty glasses! Great post, a beautiful table 🙏

  5. Fun to see all of the beautiful vintage (and not so vintage glassware). I love the green glasses (have those in clear), but I love blue best of all for interior decor, clothes, etc. I’d love any finds for blue glassware that you come across. I’m new to your site and think it is great (found you when searching for information about slip covers). I look forward to see what’s in my mail box from your in the mornings.
