A client served iced Limoncello and iced cognac to us in such glasses last summer. They looked colourful presented on a tazza and it was a great way to finish off a barbeque.These may be jelly glasses but they ae ideal for drinks. The wonderful thing about antique glassware is that it is better used. and repurposed as you wish.
