If you want a pretty iridescent glass beverage set, Floragold sports tumbler choices for you and a pitcher. The iced tea tumbler holds 15 ounces and the more common water size is 10 ounces. Supposedly there is an 11 ounce size too. (Remember that we measure tumblers and stemware by filling them right to the brim, so a 10 ounce size would hold about 8 ounces in use.)
This pitcher is big – it holds about a half gallon – and heavy. Floragold pieces are thick glass and when full of ice water this is almost too heavy.

With the tumblers you can choose one with a band around the top like this first one.

Or a plain one.

Or mix and match. Aside from the band these are identical, same size, shape, small rounded square foot. In fact I had not known there are two styles until I sold a set and the customer thought they were fake because they didn’t match what she had. If you prefer one style then to be sure to ask if you buy online as the seller may not notice the difference.
The foot on the iced tea is more definite, flatter, and the body of the tumbler is rounded.
I thought the pitcher was a little too heavy for convenient daily use, but the tumblers are pretty and a nice size. They fit in your hand and the raised design makes them easy to hold. Plus Floragold is distinctive, different from the every day tumblers you see in contemporary box sets. Esme from South Africa commented on Facebook that this is one of the few patterns she finds locally.
