Cordial glasses have been in use since at least the 17th century. They became popular in the 18th century, when the practice of serving liqueurs after meals began to become more widespread in Europe. Cordial glasses were typically made of crystal or glass, and were often intricately engraved or decorated. They were used in the courts of European nobility and the wealthy upper classes, and were considered a symbol of elegance and refinement. During the 19th century cordial glasses were still in use and were produced in mass by glassmakers, as a result, many cordial glasses from this era can be found today.
