It is a widely used drinking glass in Russia and the former Soviet Union. The Granyoniy stakan offers certain advantages compared to other types of drinkware. Its shape and durability make it more resistant to breakage, making it convenient for use on moving trains or ships, where it is less likely to slide or fall and less prone to shattering if dropped on the floor. This type of glass can be used to enjoy any kind of beverage and is often paired with a tea glass holder called Podstakannik. The traditional Russian and Soviet Granyonyi stakan typically features 14, 16, 19, or 20 facets, although other variations exist. These glasses have been produced since 1943 in Gus-Khrustalny, a renowned center for glass-making in Russia. One theory suggests that this particular design became popular and extensively manufactured in the Soviet Union because it was better suited for washing in dishwashing machines. The popularity of durable table glasses declined after the 1970s when thinner glass drinkware, produced with equipment imported from Hungary, became more prevalent. Nevertheless, several factories in Russia and Ukraine continue to produce Granyonyi stakans, which have become symbolic of the Soviet era and are sometimes regarded as souvenirs. In popular culture, the image of the Granyonyi stakan is often associated with vodka and pickled cucumbers or with tea and the iconic podstakannik, a metal holder with a handle for the glass.
