Topic: Etched cocktail glasses - with cocks on!

[Leni]

   thought that would get your attention!  :24:  :pb:

Seriously though, I don't really have much hope of getting any sort of ID for these little glasses, as I think they're probably cheap and mass-produced! They're quite light and thin, and although it has been mentioned to me that they look a bit like Stuart 'Stratford', I don't think they're that sort of quality.  They just appealed to me as the cockerels looked quirky and amusing, and they stood out from the rest of the 'Pall Mall' style etched glasses.   

I thought they looked as though they were Deco in style - maybe around 1930's?   They are quite small - no room for much more than a sip or two of something and a Maraschino cherry!    - at 4.25 inches (11cm) tall and 2.75 inches (7cm) across the top. 

Any comments would be most welcome

Yes, I think so, Miranda

Advokaat, the egg liqueur which the Brits think is liquid but which we know is thick and slow, like ketchup. Served from little glasses with a picture of a chicken, and with a tiny silver spoon. Popularity lasted well into the sixties.

What do you "well into the sixties" Ivo?  I loves a bit of Advokaat, I does!  (Well, OK, I'm into my '60's so perhaps that what you meant!  ) 

I suppose these glasses would do for Advokaat with a little spoon, but would be no good for mixing a 'snowball' - in my opinion the best way to serve it!  (Oh, good grief!  How 'dated'! :24:)

Neat or in a nice strong snowball, yum, yum. I can remember being introduced to snowballs as quite a small child by my Scottish Aunt's family when on holiday in Scotland.

jp, you are so predictable!!!  Mind you Leni, with that title, you gave him no option, did you???  :24:

I used to drink snowballs as well....we are of an age perhaps?

Anyway, I can't help with the technique used to engrave these glasses, but they have given us all a chuckle....who needs alcohol?!!   :thup:
