It is not always a dinner party.

Most of what gets used here is ordinary. Coffee at eight, water at four, a Friday drinks after work that goes on longer than anyone planned. The occasions are the ones that you make.

01 · Seven in the morning

Coffee, before the day starts asking

The first thing you hold, and nobody is watching. Which is exactly why it should be a glass you like rather than the one that came free with something else.

  • Coffee
  • Chai
  • The quiet half hour
Tumblers · from Rs. 3,300

02 · A day like any other

Water, and nothing much happening

The glass that gets used most and noticed least. There is no occasion here. That is the occasion.

  • Water
  • At the desk
  • Beside the bed
Tumblers · from Rs. 3,300

03 · Friday, after work

Nobody wants to go home yet

Two of you then pizza was ordered. The glasses keep getting refilled and nobody checks the time.

  • Cocktails
  • Beer in a goblet
  • Whatever is open
Set of Two · from Rs. 4,000

04 · Dinner for two

Whisky on one side, wine on the other

Two people, two entirely different drinks, one table. Nobody has to compromise about the glass, which is a small thing that turns out not to be.

  • Whisky
  • White
  • A long conversation
Wine glasses · from Rs. 4,000

05 · Sunday, in the garden

Brunch that runs long

Outside, on the grass or near enough to it. Somebody brings out the second jug and lunch quietly turns into the afternoon.

  • Nimbu pani
  • Iced chai
  • Mimosas
  • if pushed
Goblets · from Rs. 4,000

And when it is for somebody else

Gifting is a moment too.

Usually one where you know the occasion and nothing else. Start from the situation and the budget will sort itself out.

The best gift I ever gave was two glasses. They still use them.
