Description

Set Of Three Vintage Russian Metal Glass Holders For Hot Tea. Condition is "Used".
The podstakannik (Russian, literally “thing under the glass”), or tea glass holder.
A holder with a handle, most commonly made of metal that holds a drinking glass. The primary purpose of podstakanniki is to be able to hold a very hot glass of tea, which is usually consumed right after it is brewed. It is a traditional way of serving and drinking tea in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and other post-Soviet states.
Podstakanniki appeared in Russian tea culture in the late 18th century, when drinking tea became common in Russia. Very soon podstakanniki became not just practical utensils, but also works of art.
