I’m in my 50’s nd have no idea when I acquired mine or where but I’ve kept it to drink all beers and squashes over the years, it just adds that perfect pub feel to a quaff. I’d b e speaking from a position of almost complete ignorance, so I’m afraid I don’t really have an answer. Judging by the rate at which I manage to smash glasses, I don’t think they were handled in homes with any greater care than in pubs and alehouses, though …Hi have collected beer glasses for some time, found a straight sided pint glass with a naafi stamp and the pint stamp looks like g crown r 64, think its from newcastle upon Tyne the base is shallow with a rough edge, glass is old looking and mottled. Type that Andy Capp would drink out of. Any advice would be useful. In your response to Crysta (7th Feb) you indicate that a picture of the crown might help distinguish between GV and GVI. Does this mean that they changed the shape of the crowns when GVI came to the throne? 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)

I’ve never liked dimple mugs; they always remind me of the Worthington E ad with the glass E filling with beer, and of the 1970s generally. The revival of the dimple mug baffles me, but I guess it’s just a generational thing. The change I’ve really noticed in glassware is the return of the straight-sided conical tumbler. Drinking in the 1980s – almost exclusively out of Nonics – I was convinced that the straight-sided tumbler was the proper old original style of beer glass; I think this was largely based on a scene in The Singing Detective, which shows the patrons of a WMC in the late 40s or early 50s drinking from them. In 1990 the cafe bar Manto opened, in what wasn’t yet Manchester’s gay village; that was the first place I saw straight-sided glasses, which went on to become pretty much standard in the kind of place that calls itself a bar rather than a pub. Later, of course, I learned about ten-sided mugs and strawberry-pink china and the rest, dispelling my illusion that the straight-sided tumbler had ever been the glass. But it’s interesting to read that conical tumblers had been around much earlier – possibly in the late 19th century, certainly as early as 1932.

Thanks again. It will have pride of place on a display shelf. I bought it because I like it and it is nice to know it does have some value too. I have a 10 sided pint glass stamped GR323 GCC. On the bottom of the glass are the words “British made”. I was wondering if this is likely to be a genuine vintage, as it seems surprising that they would have printed these words on a glass in those days; I assumed it was more modern times where so much is made abroad that manufacturers highlight the point if something is made in this country? Having done a few google searches it seems a number of other people with this stamp have the same words on the bottom so maybe it is genuine, but interested in your view?

Shore, Randy (17 January 2012). "Do you know how much beer is in your pint? Bet you don't". Vancouver Sun. Selling beer in unmeasured glasses without using some other form of calibrated measure is illegal. Half-pint, one-third pint and two-thirds pint (schooners) glasses are also available and are subject to the same laws. Two-thirds of a pint is not equal to the Canadian, US or Australian schooners, which are respectively of different measures. Instead, the term "schooner" is sometimes informally used within the UK to describe two-thirds of a pint (379ml).

The number under the Crown and VR is 483 Does the 483 give an indication as to its origin? I have quite a collection of mainly glass mugs and glasses with various numbers, some have obvious clues like London CC and West Ham on them. I still have a box full of old glasses that came from my later Grandad, I must go through them all and have a closer look, Beer was, and still is in the UK, measured in imperial units. In imperial units, a hogshead is 54 gallons, and a poly pin contains 36 gallons. There are eight pints to the gallon so splitting a gallon into eight pints avoids any waste ale being left at the bottom of the barrel.
