"Keeping an eye on modern design trends is a great way to find inspiration to give your living space a modern makeover, and in 2025, kitchen trends became all about eclectic nostalgia. Gone were the wide, endless expanses of plain white, and instead, it was all about color. Fortunately, it doesn't take a massive budget to add some seriously fun statement pieces to your kitchen, and that's why we want to talk about vintage cocktail glasses."
"As we're going to be heading back quite a few decades, that means that some of these glasses might contain dangerous materials like lead, cadmium (specifically red glasses), and uranium (in glow-in-the-dark green glasses). What does that mean for using them? Some - like the uranium and cadmium glassware - should remain strictly decorative pieces. It varies for glassware containing lead: They may be fine for an occasional cocktail, but you should never use matching decanters for storing wine or whiskey."
Vintage cocktail glasses became a colorful, nostalgic way to update kitchens in 2025, replacing expansive plain white with eclectic statement pieces. Many vintage glasses are affordable and commonly found at thrift stores, making them accessible additions to kitchen decor. Some vintage glassware can contain hazardous materials such as lead, cadmium (notably in red glass), and uranium (in glow-in-the-dark green glass). Uranium and cadmium pieces should be decorative only. Lead-containing glass may be safe for occasional use but should not store beverages long-term or be used daily. Research individual pieces before using them as drinkware.
