The Bedside Water Glass Is The New Personality Hire

The glass on your nightstand says more about you than your couch. I didn't make this up — a stylist told me, and then I looked around my own bedroom and realized I was wrong.

§What we're looking for

Three things. Weight (thin enough to feel intentional, thick enough not to chip). Story (someone can ask where it's from and the answer can't be Target). And — stay with me — glass that you actually want to touch in the dark at 3am.

"Heavy is for whisky. Water should be almost invisible in your hand."

• 01Hand-blown Mexican vidrio soplado — ~$18 for a set of four. Imperfect and cheap and perfect.
• 02Iittala Essence tumbler — $22 each. Finnish. Clean. Infuriatingly correct.
• 03Kinto Hibi — $28. Japanese, thin-walled, weirdly warm.
