Name that glass!

[mikebw]

I recently received a large set of glassware-


The etched wheat pattern matches my China set-


There appears to be 16 different types of glass not counting the pitcher and ice bucket. I can't come up with 16 different names for them without resorting to with Bob, Paul, Joe...

Can you guys help me figure out what these things called and hopefully what they are for?



I have individual close-ups of each one matched by number to the photo above, along with what I think they are named, I could be wrong.

1. Shot Glass
2. Old Fashioned
3. Highball
4. Collins
5. Cordial ?
6. Whiskey Sour?
7. Port/ Sherry ?
8.
9.
10. Water?
11. Martini / Cocktail ?
12. ?
13. Champagne Glass (thanks iaJim)
14. Brandy Snifter
15. Shrimp cocktail (thanks Mike J) (this has two pieces) top and bottom
16. Pilsner


Next I just need to figure out what to do with them all.

I'd say that 13 is a champagne glass.

"15. Iced Cocktail ?? (this has two pieces) top and bottom"

maybe the top goes the other way around, i.e. it's a cap/cover? does it fit the other way around?

#4 is a Robotussin glass
#9 is a blood rite glass

13 is a champagne/sherbet glass
12 is an oyster glass or low sherbet
15 is a two-piece shrimp cocktail glass

5 is the cordial
7 is the claret
6 would just be a wine glass

Ahh, I believe you may be right. It appears this was the common style in the 60's, and as this set is a bit older that makes sense! (updated info in my list above)

Now what would the shorter one be?

[N-OS X-tasy!]

Beautiful sideboard.

I think #6 is really too small to be a wine glass, its only 4.5" tall and holds 2.5 oz. #10 is big enough to be a wine glass but the shape and stem height seems wrong.

I'd say that 12 is a sherbert.
