Pewter Goblets Enliven Home Bars

The proper wine and bar accents can make a home bar extra special. A home bar should not only be equipped properly but it also should include a few accents that will make it look that little bit special.

Start with the glasses: a dragon pewter 16 oz glass goblet is very inspiring. The dragon twists its wings around to hold the glass goblet, and its tail twists to form the stem - a set of these would look absolutely stunning on your bar.  

If you prefer your goblets to be 100% pewter, then the same artists in Brescia have designed a three dimensional goblet with pewter laid on pewter, using techniques handed down for centuries. The base is a ring of fire with the dragon rising out from it. As well as looking great on your bar, a set of these would make a marvelous gift.

There are other pewter-smiths in Italy of course, and a company in Viale, in the Piedmont region of North-East Italy, offers a beautiful olde world style of pewter goblet that celebrates the grape harvest.  This goblet is encircled with a lush bunch of beautiful ripe grapes.

It's one thing having a home bar, but to have one that stands out and is commented upon takes some work and a degree of selectivity in furnishing it.  It's not so much the bar stools that make a good bar a great bar, and it certainly isn't the drinks, because anybody can have them.  What it is is your choice of goblets, glasses and the touch of class represented by them.
