What are Russian tea glasses called?
1 Answer
It’s the tea glass holders — rather than the glasses — that are most interesting in Russia. They’re called podstakannik, which translates to “thing under the glass.” These holders are designed to hold any drinking glass, or stakan. If you’re looking for a Russian tea glass, you might want to research stakan and podstakannik.
