Comments
A very fine example with a large bowl and short stem, more in line with a large bowl wine glass than a short dram glass and will hold significantly more fluid than a standard wine...thus a short stem wine rather than a dram. The thick firing foot is very much an added bonus. A great glass that sits very well in the hand.
