Other Beverage Forms
Firing Glass – A firing glass has a short stem and a thick foot. Firing glasses were rapped on tabletops during ceremonial occasions; hence the thick foot (All About Glass/Corning Museum of Glass).
Rummer – The word "rummer" may be derived from the German word "roemer," a drinking vessel with a large capacity bowl glass (Scottish Antiques website).
Mugs and Cups – Handled drinking vessels. Small, handled cups were used for desserts, like custard and sherbet, in the 19th century and, starting around turn 20th century, for drinking punch (Jones 2000).
Decanter – A narrow mouthed, stoppered vessel used for holding alcoholic beverages. Decanters do not have pouring spouts. The inside of the upper neck of the bottle may be ground for helping secure the stopper. Decanters can be dated by their body shapes and decoration. See McKearin and McKearin (1989) for American glass decanters.
