water glasses

Table setting cups

Water glasses are drinking glasses intended for water, typically larger than wine glasses and without stems.

They're standard tableware at restaurants and formal place settings.

The term also refers to eyeglasses designed for underwater use, and to a musical instrument—glass containers filled with varying water levels and played by rubbing wet fingers along the rims.
