Estelle Glassware
If there’s a queen of colored glassware, it’s Stephanie Summerson Hall of Estelle Glassware. The Black woman founder has taken the design world (and social media) by storm with her chic, stylish glassware in modern shapes and hues. The best part? Her mix-and-match set of six means you can score the exact rainbow your heart desires.
