Our Abigail glassware collection is perfect for every table! It has the durability for everyday use, while also elevating any formal table. Abigail features seven different shapes from a double old fashioned to a balloon wine, along with a pitcher and hurricane. The Hurricane is beautiful when it holds a brightly colored pillar candle, or use it as a vase filled with your favorite flowers.
