The one thing I don’t like is branded glasses. I guess I like looking at the beer “toute nue” and not through the prism of a name or logo. I’m all for brewers’ adverts but not on the glass. glass. I don’t mind halves served in the mini Nonik (or bulged tube style glass), though as Zythophile points out, it isn’t the prettiest thing. He also mentions in this fascinating post that the authentic […] A flute shaped pilsner glass provides a similar drinking vessel for beers, but with a larger volume.

Under the EU Measuring Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/22/EC), the certification of measuring instruments and devices used in trade (including beer mugs, weighbridges, petrol pumps and the like) can be done by third parties anywhere within the EU with governments taking "only the legislative and enforcement ( market surveillance) functions" and "ensuring that the system of third party assessment ... has sufficient technical competence and independence" [7] (or, in simple language, calibration services were privatised). Glasses that have been certified by authorised firms anywhere within the EU have the letters CE etched on with the certifying agency's identification number. [8] [9] Conservatives campaigning to have dual markings of crown and CE were informed by EU Commissioner Günter Verheugen that "a Crown stamp look-alike could naturally be affixed to the glass, as long as it is done in such a way that it is not confused with the CE marking". [10] Following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU the CE mark is being replaced by the UKCA marking for goods placed on the market in Great Britain, and in September 2021, it was announced that the Crown would return to pint glasses in the UK.

Huntsman was the trademark of Eldridge Pope of Dorchester. It licensed the Huntsman logo in the South West, which was also used by Tetley of Leeds in the North and Rayment’s in ther Home Counties. 323 was the stamp for Gateshead. Hi. I am doing some research for a 1940s re-enactment group and need to know what sort of glasses would have been used in an English pub in 1940/41. This is the best article I have come across so far. Can anyone suggest where I can get the right glasses, or, (as I suspect) that is impossible, what is the nearest modern equivalent?

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? The Beery News Notes To Help You Understand Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend – A Good Beer Blog on A short history of the King’s Walden brewery ER (if it is ER and not a mistaken EIIR, which often happens) means Edward VII who reigned from 22nd January 1901 to 6th May 1910 so your glass was verified by the Gateshead verifying chap sometime then. Straight sided glasses typically go for 20-30 on the net but a rare design may go for more. Handled ones are much more desirable and rarer too. Unless you are in desperate need of about 25 quid just use it and enjoy the fact that you have a true antique pub pint glass (i.e. >100 years old) – very few people do. even after that date [1845], the evidence suggests that glass drinking vessels remained rare in pubs until the end of the Victorian period”.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. I’ve got a dimple mug glass pint with GR 323 GCC stamp. There’s also a barrel in two of the dimples. On the base of the glass has RD No 302751. Any information about the glass plus any possible value is much welcome, thanks. 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. Hi Paul I’ve uploaded some pictures of the glass (there should be 5 altogether), hope you can view them, please let me know. I think you are correct Kay, the 93 is the date 1893 and the 32 was the weights and measures mark for Stafford County (started in 1879)

If they’re 10-sided they’re not Noniks, that’s the name for circular-cross-section thin-walled glasses with a bulge around an inch or so below the lip. Dunno what the “N” might be I’ve only ever seen examples with GR, EIIR and RAF on. Can you send us a picture? Earlier Victorian beer glasses included rummers, or footed goblets, an attractive style that unfortunately died out. Glass beer mugs in late Victorian and Edwardian times seem to have been heavily ribbed, or cylindrical, while the tumblers were slightly slope-sided or conical. An advertisement for British-made beer tumblers from 1922 shows three different types, plain, with a rayed pattern on the bottom, and with internal ribs, in a style called “Venetian”. [addendum April 2022] The first showing for what what was to become the first iconic beer glass, the ten-sided (or “lantern”) mug, came the same year, 1922, in a catalogue issued by Sowerby’s Ellison Glassworks Ltd of Gateshead. Sowerby’s called the style the ”Fluted Can”, and gave the pints the catalogue number 1513, while the half-pint version was catalogue number 2336. Somerby’s also made four other styles of handled glass beer “cans”, one plain and the others showing different stles of fluting.Remember pint glasses are 20 oz and if it is 16 oz, it is not a legal pint glass. In USA, Americans discriminate saying 16 oz ia pint glass pint glass because it is all about money than serving the true original 20 oz as 20 oz is a world wide glass. I like pewter mugs for bitter, it seems to do something positive to the light bubble in a good cask beer. In London, the Davy wine bar chain’s excellent Wallop is served in those mugs (or was on my last trip in 2005) and it always tastes great.
