WHY YOU WILL LOVE THEM: The waitress addresses you as “Hon,” and the first thing she does is pour your water into the authentic diner-style glass.  You know, the one with curved sides that set these glasses apart from most ordinary straight-sided glasses.  They provide a secure grip as you take a sip and make even a simple glass of water feel like a trip back in time.  

Original Gift Box Set:  Offered in a Gift Box Set of 4, these glasses are distinguished by a curving “double bulge” or wavy-side profile, created for durability and ease of handling in diner service.  Beginning with the New Jersey diner, they became recognizable staples in mid-century food-service glassware, now increasingly sought after as a vintage or distinctive design piece.

Practical and Versatile:  A special heat treating process strengthens each glass, resulting in an increased resistance to thermal and mechanical shock.  You can use these glasses to enjoy many different kinds of drinks. Whether you use them to serve iced water, iced tea, juice, or any stylish refreshment, each glass elevates the drinking experience.

Historical Significance:  The New Jersey diner is the cultural touchstone of an entire state. For generations, the diner has provided sustenance – milkshakes at the end of a high school date, brunch after church, or a 2am stopover for a burger and fries on the way home from the bar, the diner is the place to eat and relax

Optimal Size & Easy Care:  Dimensions: 2 1/2-inches (T) x 2 3/8-inches (B) x 5 1/8-inches (H), 12 ounce capacity. Designed to withstand the rigors of professional restaurant service, these dishwasher-safe glasses meet professional standards while ensuring easy maintenance and long-lasting beauty.

For Keeping or Giving: You'll want these sets for yourself – and others to share as a clever gift.  If you’re from Jersey – or you’ve ever called it home – you know there’s nothing quite like the experience of a classic Jersey diner.  Perfect for ex-pats missing their favorite booth or anyone who knows that water just tastes better in the right glass. 

The Art of the Jersey Diner.
She calls you “Hon” the moment you sit down, sliding a menu across the counter as she fills your glass—the real thing, the authentic diner-style water glass. You know it instantly. Curved sides that fit the hand just right, sturdy enough to survive a thousand refills and a thousand stories. The kind that once caught the glow of neon signs and the hum of jukeboxes after midnight. It provides a secure grip as you take a sip, and somehow makes even a simple glass of water feel like a trip back in time.  1950 Jersey Diner Retro Water Glass is offered in a Gift Box Set of 4, for keeping or giving.
