Each handle forms a teardrop loop, rounded at the top and flattening into an angle where it meets the base. The ultra-thin glass inserts sit snugly in the holders, and the stainless steel has kept its shine for decades without tarnishing or rusting. To care for them, wipe with a soft damp cloth; avoid detergents and silver polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe hot tea in the traditional glass-and-holder style, or use them for punch, cordials, or cocktails at your next gathering. They'd make a lovely gift for a host, a tea lover, or anyone who collects German midcentury design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWMF began in Geislingen, Germany, in 1853 and became Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik after an 1880 merger. In 1950 the company introduced Cromargan, its trademarked 18\/10 stainless steel, whose name draws on chromium, nickel, and argentum (silver). Schott \u0026amp; Genossen was founded in Jena in 1884 by glass chemist Otto Schott, whose borosilicate \"Jenaer Glas\" was prized for its thin walls and resistance to heat. After WWII the company re-established itself in Mainz, West Germany, where the British Museum records its teaware production between 1955 and 1960. These cups come from that postwar moment, when German metalworkers and glassmakers were reinventing everyday tableware in clean, modern forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse our shop for more barware to round out your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: The second picture is a fun, AI-generated image meant to inspire ideas and creativity.
