What type of glass is that? Looks super fancy and I want a set.Finally ran in to this on the shelf locally for a reasonable price!... Good Football watching whiskey....
Happy hunting!
It's a bit "too" fancy!
It's called a Georgian air-twist stem glass and it was made in England between 1780 & 1790... So a set might be difficult to assemble...
On to some EC... Cheers!

Probably your best bet for finding a 235 year old air twist glass:
They're easier than that... And sometimes you can steal one at auctionProbably your best bet for finding a 235 year old air twist glass:
... The older silver pint mugs I drink beer out of are much more of a nightmare ...Tomorrow is a workday so trying to show some self control...

In all seriousness, it is a beautiful glass. But with my luck, I would find one and end up breaking it while cleaning it or while on whiskey (or both)
For me, it's a beautiful glass.. but I like to think about it's journey, it's story.. Who held it and when?
... It's seen a bit of history.. it was originally used for wine .... so these are the fun questions ( in my whiskey addled mind anyway)...Atheistically, you can find modern repros that are cool too like this one ..
If that gets broken it still sucks but doesn't hurt as much...
Anyway.... So much for self control...
So you're saying more room for juice....
