What it is
The podstakannik — Russian for «under the glass» — is one of the most recognisable objects in Eastern European kitchenware. A sturdy metal holder with a handle, designed to cradle a hot glass of tea safely in your hand. Born from 19th-century Russian tea culture and made famous by the Russian Railways, it turns a simple glass of tea into a proper ritual. This set pairs the metal holder with a classic faceted 200 ml glass, ready to use straight from the box.
What's in the box
1 metal tea glass holder (podstakannik) with handle. 1 faceted glass, 200 ml.
How to use
Place the faceted glass into the holder, pour your hot tea, and carry it comfortably by the handle — no need to worry about burning your fingers. Works equally well for tea, coffee, or any hot drink. Hand wash recommended.
