stemware

Glasses with bases

Stemware is glassware with a stem—a slender vertical support between the bowl and the base.

Wine glasses, champagne flutes, and goblets are stemware.

The stem serves a practical purpose: it keeps your hand away from the bowl, preventing body heat from warming the drink.

She arranged the stemware on the top shelf.
