Sorry about double posting, but I wasn’t sure of the best category. I read somewhere on the net that Fostoria basically “invented” purposes for their wine glasses that were manufactured/sold during prohibition. For example, there was/is a stemmed “water glass” that resembles in size a typical wine glass; the stemmed “sherbet” glass is actually a champagne glass; the smaller stemmed glass is a “communion wine glass”, etc. I have these stemmed “multipurpose” glasses in 4 different sizes (and they are beautiful, “Mother of Pearl, iridescent, manufacturing stopped in 1920.) Any information?

I have to find the actual glass names for the following drinks…

Red wine, white wine, sparkling wine (flute), port, spirit, cocktail, beer, softdrink, short black coffee, mocha coffee and latte coffee.

If anyone knows the actual names of the glasses that accompany each drink, I would love to know!
Thank you!

I would like to know about collecting crystal ,Does anyone know a good book to purchase to get me started with this?

I was at a party last weekend and a ravishing young gal beckoned me to dance with her to a specially energetic number. During the course of our gyrations I observed her bust bouncing unusually and unapologetically. It reminded me a lot of a cup of jello that just fell off the table. This gal sensed my suspicion and lo behold confided into my dumbstruck ears that she was wearing a pair of water balloons to see how silicon implants would feel like. So I thought nothing about the matter and kept carrying on for the rest of the party. However, one of the balloons exploded during a specially charged number a little later wetting her gown and exposing a quirky bit of upper body assymetry. Many dancers were surprised at the sudden wetting of her gown and that too at an awkward spot. To help cover the mishap I pretended to stub my toe and fell on her with a wine glass to create an excuse for the wetting. This resulted in a fistfight with her undisclosed boyfriend. What would you have done?
