The Southern Cupboard: Sweet Tea Glasses

Summer inspiration from vintage glassware

Iced sweet tea stirs fervor in the South for good reason: it is a highly pleasurable way to beat the relentless heat of summer. And whether you take yours “half and half” or full-on, hurt-your-teeth sweet, serve it up in style with vintage glassware. From vessels decked out in midcentury florals and Palm Beach-y cane motifs to formal gold-rimmed options, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite recent finds. Cheers!
