Douwe Egberts Aroma Rood glass

Douwe Egberts is one of the most iconic Dutch brands, originally established in Joure, Netherlands, in 1753. While the company is world-renowned for its coffee and tea products, it often releases promotional kitchenware, such as this frosted glass featuring Dutch-themed illustrations like churches and trees.

Historically a family-owned Dutch business, Douwe Egberts underwent several major corporate shifts over the last few decades, including a long period of ownership by the American firm Sara Lee. Eventually, the coffee division was spun off and merged with other major global players. Today, the brand is the cornerstone of JDE Peet's, a massive multinational company headquartered in Amsterdam. Production of promotional glassware like this is typically outsourced to specialized manufacturers globally, while the coffee beans themselves are processed in various roasting plants across Europe and beyond.
