Barware
A well-set bar makes hosting easy. The drinks come together faster, the cart looks like part of the room, and guests help themselves. At Hudson Grace, our barware runs from striped ceramic pitchers and colored glass to ice buckets, bar tools, the witty cocktail napkins we're known for, and the vintage silver we source ourselves. Most of it earns a spot out on the counter or cart, so it works as decor between parties too.
Whether you're stocking a first bar cart or registering for the pieces you'll keep for years, here's where to start.
Our barware includes:
-
Pitchers, decanters & ice buckets: Colored Cabell glass, striped Portofino ceramic, and ice buckets and wine coolers for the table.
-
Bar tools & mixers: Shakers, strainers, and the Luxe cocktail mixer cubes for bourbon, martinis, and mimosas.
-
Cocktail napkins & coasters: Paper napkins printed with lines like "Please Leave by 9," plus embroidered fabric coasters.
-
Vintage silver: One-of-a-kind punch bowls, trays, shakers, and ice buckets we find in Europe.
-
Bar trays: The base of any cart or counter, made to corral bottles and glasses.
-
Bar carts: The centerpiece, ready to stock and roll out when company comes.
Pitchers, Decanters, and Ice Buckets
A good pitcher does a lot of work. Ours range from the colored Cabell square glass to the striped Portofino ceramic, in sizes from a single pour to a full crowd. So a pitcher of water or a batch cocktail stays within reach, and the piece looks good doing it. Add an ice bucket or a ceramic wine cooler, and the drinks stay cold without a trip to the kitchen.
Vintage Silver Barware
This is the part we're known for. We curate vintage silver ourselves from markets across Europe and from old hotel silver, so each piece is one of a kind and carries a little history. The collection runs from punch bowls and bar trays to cocktail shakers and ice buckets, all in vintage silver. Because we rarely find the same thing twice, it goes fast. So if a piece catches your eye, don't wait, since we can't reorder what we found at a flea market in Paris.
Bar Tools and Mixers
The right tools make a better drink. We carry the shakers, strainers, and stirrers a home bar needs, plus the Luxe cocktail mixer cubes that turn out a bourbon classic, a martini, or a mimosa without much fuss. Because they're easy to use and easy to gift, they suit a new host as much as a seasoned one.
Cocktail Napkins and Coasters
This is the detail people remember. Our paper cocktail napkins are printed with witty lines, from "Please Leave by 9" to "Dinner Is Poured," and they get a party talking. The embroidered coasters add a little more polish, while the Peter Dunham and Kerri Rosenthal sets bring real color and pattern. So they're an easy host gift, and an easy way to make a cart feel finished.
Bar Trays and Carts
A bar needs a home. A tray gathers the bottles and glasses into something that looks intentional, while a bar cart turns the whole setup into a piece of the room. So when company comes, you roll it out, and between parties it earns its keep as decor.
A Good Gift, and a Registry Favorite
Barware is one of the easiest gifts to give well, and one of the smartest things to register for. A set of cocktail napkins or a mixer trio makes a quick host gift, while the pieces you'll keep for years, a vintage silver shaker, a great pitcher, a bar cart, are exactly what belongs on a registry. Because a good bar grows with a household, it's worth choosing pieces once and keeping them for every party that follows.
