Title: Large goblet who could it be?
Post by: Margi on October 12, 2009, 01:33:16 PM

I actually think I know the country of origin on this one but would like others opinions please.  Stands 20.5cm, rim 9cm diameter and base 8.5cm.  Unforrtunately the pic doesn't show the lovely bubbles as well as I hoped there is quite a few especially in the stem, the glass is also surprisingly heavy and thickish.

The good thing is, once you've handled one you will never forget what they feel like. They come in all varieties - tumblers, footed longdrinks (especially for tequila sunrises with umbrellas in them) and shot glasses.

I think they're also recycled glass, aren't they?
