tea glass

Turkish drink holder

A tea glass is a drinking vessel designed specifically for serving tea, typically made of clear glass to display the tea's color.

In Turkish, Russian, and Middle Eastern traditions, tea glasses are often small, tulip-shaped, and handleless, held by the rim to avoid the heat: She served the tea in traditional glasses on a silver tray.

The term also applies more broadly to any glass used for iced tea.
