How many different styles of everyday drinking glasses are in your cupboard?

Not including all the crazy waterbottles, souvenir, and just plain unique cups I’ve gathered over the years, I counted seven sets. I actually kind of like having all sorts of different mismatched cups in my cupboard, it makes things more interesting, in my opinion.

I don’t have matching glasses. I have three of one set of mugs, two of one set of wine glasses, and everything else is an orphan. ^_^

I have about six, but that is only because I won a few sets and were gifted some. I had a set of Vitro Crystal glasses there were 12, but my weekly maid broke one every month for a period so now I have two left. Very sad. The only glass I enjoy drinking out of it a beer glass. Even though it’s never seen beer. I really hate the idea that some people drink juices out of a mug its so heathen!

Seven. Three have different logos. One is a set given by the real estate agent with my initial etched on them. One is a set made in the 50’s that Mom passed on to me. There is another that she must have given to me when I moved out. The final one is a set of all sizes that was purchased on my own.

One.

I have one simple style of glass in 3 sizes, 6oz., Old fashioned, and Highball. 6 of each type. Having varied and mismatched foodware would drive me insane.

Numerous. I have quite a few of two sets but then odd glasses or a couple of glasses from many sets. I don’t even remember us breaking many glasses over the years, so where did they go!

More frustrating than the general use glasses that have been broken or disappeared are the Waterford crystal wine glasses that have disappeared. I bought them when I finished my first degree with the first pay cheque I got after that. From 8 only 5 remain. I know who broke one of the glasses, but the other two… Mr Invisible.

I didn’t even count wine glasses or the one unbroken set of water glasses that I trot out for festive meals. I’m afraid I have a number of orphaned wine glasses as well. None of those are in everyday use.

At least I don’t have jelly glasses (no offense to any jellies present). We phased those out some time back. My parents’ shelf included a rather embarrassing number of Welch’s Grape Jelly glasses with Flintstones on them, out of which my siblings and I drank untold quantities of milk. Whatever I might have been driven to collect or passively accumulate over the years, at least those weren’t among them.

I bought most of my mugs one by one. Nothing matches- it’s more fun that way!

Three sets, plus a few random glasses that were never part of a set to begin with; mostly promotional items from pubs etc.

Two different incomplete sets of regular drinking glasses. They are stored on different shelves in the cabinet because I only have two left in the one set, and it would drive me crazy to see those two random glasses mixed in with all the others. Thankfully, the ones my husband likes best (similar to this) are now available for purchase one at a time, at Walmart for less than a buck each. Makes replacing the broken ones so easy!

We have many different incomplete sets of wine, whiskey and shot glasses. Some of those are orphans.
