  • WHY YOU WILL LOVE THEM: These glasses are 'Piccolo' or Italian for 'small." The size of glassware is closely tied to drinking habits and cultural practices. Serving wine in small tumblers is one of Italy’s oldest expressions. Italians call this the ‘art of drinking well without drinking too much.’ They are like an old marriage: comfortable, agreeable, and without pretense.
  • Premium Gift Box:  Offering a Set of 4 authentic Italian Stemless Wine Glasses, inspired by the culture of Venice and throughout the Veneto region, where small tumblers of everyday wines are shared in Venetian taverns called “bacaros.”  Intended for traditional Italian table wines which do not require much breathing room; because these glasses are a little bit different, they will make your wine-drinking experience a little bit fresher, a little bit more pleasurable, a little bit more fun.
  • Handcrafted Rustic Italian Glassware:  Inspired by traditional ‘bàcari’ of Venice, these thick-bottomed, tempered stemless wine glasses offer durability, utility, and timeless charm.   Designed for wine, water, aperitifs, and cocktails, these piccolo-sized glasses are perfect for everyday use or special occasions.
  • Minimalist Yet Sturdy:  A refined take on the classic wine glass, easier to cradle than delicate stemware with a chip-resistant rim for long-lasting enjoyment.  Featuring clean, straight lines, a subtly flared mouth, and a heavy base, these glasses feel secure in hand and offer an exceptional drinking experience.
  • A Thoughtful Gift:  Perfect for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings, and celebrations—a timeless addition to any home bar or table setting.  Transitions from casual dinners to celebratory toasts, making them ideal for home, restaurants, or bistros.
  • Dimensions for Optimum Functionality: Top 2 1/4-inches; Bottom 2-inches; Height: 3 1/2-inches; Capacity 5 1/2-ounces; proven dishwasher-safe.  Stemless glassware requires less storage space, easily fits into the dishwasher, and, of course, breaks less; no further need to worry about the dainty wine stems.  
  • Unconditional 100% Quality and Satisfaction Guarantee: Since 1997, History Company has specialized in extraordinary products inspired by history and authenticity, where ‘Every Gift Holds a Story,’ and where you are sure to find the perfect item for any occasion.

How to Drink Wine Like the Italians.

Wines from the Italian region of Veneto are perfect "everyday" wines to accompany meals.  They are like an old marriage: comfortable, agreeable, and without pretense.  Bàcaro is a Venetian word for a humble tavern serving simple food and young, inexpensive local wines in delightfully charming and informal glasses that capture a nonchalance the Italians call "sprezzatura."  The clever simplicity of these rustic wine glasses personifies that attitude, and mild imperfections should be considered part of the unique characteristics of these artisan glasses.

Introducing to the American table a set of four 5 1/2-ounce stemless wine glasses that prioritize function over form, without pretentious flourishes.  There is also something tactile and comforting, a satisfying degree of purpose about these small peasant glasses, just right with humble food shared in a casual setting, and easier to store and travel.  Offered in a Gift Box Set of 4, for keeping or giving.
