Unusual shot type glass - domed centre
« on: September 16, 2017, 11:21:02 AM »
Hi there,

does anybody have any idea what this sort of glass is?  It is like a shot glass but has a sort of domed/raised centre.

It is around 1.9" in height

I know absolutely nothing about it so any info would be appreciated.

Thanks for any help

Andy

Welcome to GMB!  :)

Never saw anything like that... is turned upside down to close the bottle after consumption?  ???

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

 :) That is a very clever idea, Pamela!
An efficient tumble-up. ;D

I was stuck on thinking about it being a jelly mould which would result in a shape of jelly which would have had a recess to put something of a different colour or flavour, or some decoration in. :-[

Could be a deceptive glass to stop you getting drunk when toasting.
