New York Tumbler – Gold – Single

What are tumbler glasses used for?

Everyday drinking - water, juice, soft drinks, spirits over ice. Handblown to a sturdy, consistent form that stands up to daily use.

Are they sold individually or as sets?

Some tumblers are sold as sets - see our ready-made sets for those. Others are available individually, so you can mix and match across the Miami and New York collections.

The New York Glassware Collection is inspired by the city’s modern, understated style and its mix of clean lines and subtle detail.

Each piece is handblown in our London studio, using soft smoky tones and simple, timeless shapes. The result is glassware that feels refined but easy to use, perfect for both everyday moments and more formal gatherings.

Where is Gather glassware made?

All our handblown glassware is made in our Woolwich studio in South East London. Each piece is individually shaped by hand in small batches.

Who makes Gather glassware?

Gather is led by artist and designer Phoebe Stubbs, alongside a small team of skilled glassblowers with over 20 years of experience working with molten glass.

What type of glass is Gather glassware made from?

Is every piece exactly the same?

No. Because each item is handmade, slight variations in shape, size, colour, and pattern are part of the process and make every piece unique.

Why is handmade glassware different from mass-produced glass?

Each piece is individually made by skilled glassblowers using traditional techniques and molten glass. This creates unique objects with natural variation, rather than identical factory-produced items.

Is Gather glassware dishwasher safe?

Yes. Our glassware is dishwasher safe. We recommend using a gentle cycle and placing items on the top rack, especially for coloured glass.

Why is handmade glassware more expensive than mass-produced glass?
