WHY YOU WILL LOVE THEM: It’s the same glass that once caught the glow of neon signs and the steady pulse of a jukebox after midnight. When you lift it for a sip, the grip feels secure, familiar. And somehow, even a simple glass becomes a small trip back in time – to the clatter of plates, the smell of coffee, and the easy rhythm of a classic Jersey diner.  They make even a 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, milkshakes, 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 a drink just tastes better in the right glass. 

Unconditional 100% Quality and Satisfaction Guarantee:  Since 1997, History Company has specialized in extraordinary products inspired by history and authenticity, where ‘Every Gift Holds a Story,’ and where you are sure to find the perfect item for keeping or giving.
