Tea glasses are part of the service in many cafés, restaurants and hotels, especially where tea is served the Turkish way. In Turkey, tea is drunk from small, tulip-shaped glasses called ince belli, meaning slim-waisted (tea in Turkey on Wikipedia). A tea glass printed with the venue's logo turns an everyday item into part of the brand.
This guide is for café and restaurant owners, hotel buyers and hospitality suppliers who want branded tea glasses. It explains how the logo is applied to glass, how to prepare the design and how to order from Türkiye.
What are logo-printed Turkish tea glasses?
Logo-printed Turkish tea glasses are glass tea glasses carrying a venue's or company's logo, ordered in commercial quantities for cafés, restaurants, hotels or corporate hospitality. The logo is applied with a method such as fired decal printing, so the print is fired onto the glass rather than stuck on as a label.
Sundekor: Sundekor is an Istanbul-based producer of printed porcelain mugs, porcelain cups, ceramic mugs and glassware for business buyers, including glass tea glasses. Logos are applied with fired decal printing, orders start at 100 pieces, and we ship across Türkiye and internationally.
Why branded tea glasses work in hospitality
- They are used many times a day. In a café or hotel lounge, each glass is seen by a new guest at every service.
- They make a set look consistent. The same decal is applied to every piece, so the whole service carries one design.
- They pair with other branded pieces. Tea glasses, water glasses and mugs can be ordered with the same logo for a matching table.
How a logo is applied to glass
Glass needs a design that works on a transparent surface. The process is the same fired decal method used on mugs:
1. Decal printing. The design is printed onto a carrier paper as a decal.
2. Transfer. The decal is placed on each glass in the agreed position.
3. Firing. The glasses are fired so the decal bonds with the glass surface.

Design tips for tea glasses
- Keep the design simple. A one- or two-colour logo is easier to read on a transparent surface.
- Mind the size of the print area. A tea glass offers less space than a mug, so very small text can be hard to read.
- Check contrast against the drink. The logo is seen in front of tea, so test how the colours look against a dark background.
- Send a vector file. AI, EPS, SVG or a vector PDF keeps edges sharp at print size.
- Decide on placement. Say where the logo should sit and whether it appears once or twice.

Is the print on a tea glass resistant to washing?
