Description:
Authentic Russian podstakannik or tea glass holder. Literally, podstakannik means "under the glass" or "for the glass". Less expensive ones were used on Soviet trains during the Soviet era, while more expensive and elaborate ones have been used from time immemorial by Russian aristocracy, then by Soviet leaders, now by the new Russian capitalists. Your tea will taste Russian only when drunk from an original Russian glass holder imported from Moscow. And this is what we sell. Heat-tempered etched crystal glass insert (volume: 200 ml or 7 oz) included with any glass holder order for FREE. Podstakannik always makes a great gift!
