A tea glass holder made in Kolchugino, town is well-known because of tableware plant, founded by Alexander Kolchugin in 1871 located here. Most of Russian tea glass-holders were produced in Kolchugino. Table-glass or granyonyi stakan (literally faceted glass) is a type of drinkware made from especially hard and thick glass and having a faceted form. It is a very widespread form of drinking glass in Russia and the former Soviet Union. Granyonyi stakan has certain advantages over the other drinkware, since due to its form and hardness it is more difficult to break. It is arguably handier in usage on moving trains or rolling ships, where it is less prone to decline and fall, or slip from hands, and less likely to be broken when hitting the floor, compared to non-faceted types of drinking glasses. Granyony stakan may be used to drink any type of beverage, including vodka and tea. It is often used in combination with tea glass-holder (podstakannik). The classical form of Russian and Soviet granyonyi stakan is that with 14 facets. Such glasses have been produced since 1943 at a factory in the city of Gus-Khrustalny, the famous center of Russian glass-making. According to one theory, this version of drinking glass became a preferred one and was massively produced in the Soviet Union because it was more fit to be washed using dish washing machines. A legend tells that the 14-facets form was designed by a famous Soviet sculptor Vera Mukhina.
