About this deal

Absolutely fascinating, thank you very much indeed, Neville. You can just see the torn edge of what is clearly the “lantern” glass in the 1922 Sowerby’s of Gateshead catalogue, and it’s more fully shown in the 1926 edition, which shows that the design is at least 100 years old. Famed by the high ABV Belgian bière de champagne, DeuS, a flute champagne style glass can also be used to serve beer. With similar properties to a narrow stemmed beer glass, the flute shape promotes carbonation for better head retention. Suitable for serving a sparkling beer, standard champagne flutes can be applied to fruit beers as the narrow bowl directs the aromas up to the nose. Of course, you still hear the expression “a pint pot”, but most people assume it refers to a dimple glass (perhaps to distinguish it from a straight one), whereas it seems obvious that it actually dates from the time of the china pot. Two classic tulip lager glasses, one from Carlsberg of the sort that John Mills lusted for in the film Ice Cold in Alex from 1958 (although in the book the film was based on, the beer in Alexandria was Rheingold from New York …) and the other from Barclay Perkins, once one of London’s biggest lager brewers. showing the brewery’s Dr Johnson trademark

was one of the numbers used in Gateshead, and the letters are GCC, for Gateshead County Counil. Sounds a great glass … when most recently used was Croydon, which seems unlikely for the Victorian era but not impossible … what you need to do is find old trade directories for the Croydon area and see if there is an Albion hotel in them and if the name on your mug matches the proprietor of the hotel …The problem with the “shaker pint” (besides it’s look) is that it was never designed for drinking or serving beer and its “16 oz” capacity is to the rim- thus, with any head at all, the drinker is not getting a full US pint of beer. Pint glasses became popular in the United Kingdom in the early/mid-20th century, replacing tankards (pewter, ceramic and glass). This change is notably lamented by George Orwell in his 1946 essay " The Moon Under Water".

The form is identical to the biscuit-cream, but the color is baby blue. It is stamped VR 19. Is there a source for finding the location and maker of this mark. I appreciate any information you can provide.Two men drinking from china pint mugs, one mochaware, the other transfer printed, from the film The Story of English Inns, 1944 Hi, thanks for the fascinating article. I’ve come via http://abeerglasscollector.com/ in a bid to find some info on a charity shop find I got today. I can tell you it’s a 10 sided ‘lantern’ glass (new to me; born in the 70s) with GR and the crown, and from the ‘323’ stamp it was verified in Gateshead. What I can’t seem to find is the meaning of the 3 letters beneath the 323? They’re either GCC or CCC, it’s hard to tell from the etching. The whole is enclosed in an oval split in 4, with PINT above and a U or partial D below. Any ideas? I’m fascinated now! A mass is a German measurement equal to 1 litre, so a masskrug is literally translated as a 1 litre beer mug. Commonly seen at the Oktoberfest beer festival, the masskrug is a tall conical beer mug with a dimpled body.

Thanks very much indeed Paul, and well dome Kay – I would agree with you, the fact that your mug has clearly been well-used gives it extra character – if it could tells tales I am sure it would have some great ones. A flute shaped pilsner glass provides a similar drinking vessel for beers, but with a larger volume. Yes! I collect pressed glass pubware as well. I too have a collection of GRV and GRVI pint and half pint glasses that I have accumulated over about 15 years, and would like very much to see any photos you have. I also know of one other collector who has quite a serious collection. The social researcher Charles Booth, in 1896, wrote in Life and Labour of the People in London that “until comparatively recent years the publican’s customers were very particular as to their ale being served in a ‘nice bright pewter pot’ … the pot is, however, being now largely supplanted by the glass.” Two years later, in 1898, a witness to a parliamentary inquiry into the materials being used to brew beer talked about “the alleged preference of the working man to have his beer in glasses” – which he denied, saying that it was the publicans leading the movement towards glass, because it was cheaper than pewter, and took up less space. All the same, the Brewers’ Journal that year carried an article on brewing “brilliant” beer, saying that there was a “steadily increasing demand for light fresh beers … capable of withstanding the critical glass test”, suggesting that the use of glass mugs and tumblers in pubs was indeed rising because of customer preference.Hi Paul, I have taken some photos and they are on my computer but I’m not sure how to up load them onto here?

Originally a ceramic beer mug, the beer stein is defined as being a beer mug with a lid, designed to keep flies and bugs out of your drink, making them ideal for outdoor drinking, and especially for use at beer festivals. The term beer stein however the term stein is generally applied to most handled beer glasses, particularly the masskrug, famed for serving beer at Oktoberfest and other beer festivals in Europe. It shows that the dimples were used to help handle the glass (so to speak). I’m wondering now if the English dimpled pint glass was inspired by a pre-Pro version of this American schooner goblet, with retention of dimples but not their function. Hard to say. The 301 means that it was marked under the auspices of of the weights and measures authorities in West Riding, Yorkshire. The glass could well have been made by The United Glass Bottle Manufacturers Ltd in Castleford, Wakefield, West Yorkshire (founded-1913 closed-1983) But hold on, why are they listed as “Multicolour” when they’re just clear? That’s a mystery for another day, I guess. Hello Martyn, thanks for adding the link to the list of stamp numbers, I’ve been looking for something like it for a while. My latest rummer is one with a Registered Design Lozenge for 1848.Don’t know: I’m sure the evidence is out there in old photographs, brewers’ ads, elderly drinkers reminiscences and the like – anyone want to take on the task of finding out? (No …. I thought not …) Another popular pub glass, the American beer glass, also known as shaker pint glasses are conical in shape. Used for serving a US pint, which is 16oz or 14oz, the American pint glass is commonly used in pubs around the world as a standard drinking glass and is available in various sizes, including 20oz pints and 10oz half pints for serving draught beer in the UK.
