The central column of the bowl is positioned directly over the stem of the cup and over a hole at the bottom of the stem. A small open pipe runs from this hole almost to the top of the central column, where there is an open chamber. The chamber is connected by a second pipe to the bottom of the central column, where a hole in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mazagran (drinkware)
Mazagran is a type of cup usually used for coffee, which is named after the town of Mazagran in Algeria. It is unusual in coffee cup styles in having a short stem, and typically no handle or saucer. It has been most popular in France. Iced coffee drinks in a variety of recipes, some alcoholic, are also called mazagran; they may or may not be served in Mazagran cups. The Battle of Mazagran took place there in 1840 between French soldiers and Algerians and a legend claims that during the night, the 123 besieged French soldiers drank coffee laced with alcoholic beverages. It is a glass or cup on a foot, optionally also with a handle or a short stem. Mazagrans can be made of terracotta, porcelain or glass. Mazagran was also the name of a failed carbonated coffee soda beverage developed as a collaboration between Starbucks and Pepsi in the mid-1990s.

Tumbler (glass)
A tumbler is a flat-floored beverage container usually made of plastic, glass or stainless steel. Theories vary as to the etymology of the word ''tumbler''. One such theory is that the glass originally had a pointed or convex base and could not be set down without spilling. Another is that they had weighted bottoms which caused them to right themselves if knocked over. Originally, the term tumbler referred to a type of drinking glass with a pointed or rounded base, which prevented it from being put down until it was empty, encouraging the drinker to finish their beverage in one go. Over time, the design evolved into the flat-bottomed glassware that is known today, which can comfortably sit on tables and counters without tipping over. The modern tumbler comes in various sizes and shapes, designed to accommodate a wide range of beverages from water and juice to sophisticated cocktails. Tumblers can also be adorned with decor, such as gemstones and rhinestones. Types of tumblers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tiki Mug
A tiki mug is a large ceramic cocktail drinking vessel that originated in tiki bars and tropical-themed restaurants. The term "tiki mug" is a blanket term for the sculptural drinkware even though they vary in size and most do not contain handles. They typically depict Polynesian, mock-Polynesian, tropical, nautical, or retro themes, and as the term is used generically do not always emulate a tiki. When used to serve drinks they are frequently garnished with fruit or decorative drink umbrellas and swizzle sticks. Outside of tiki enthusiasts, the mugs are not commonly seen in use beyond tiki bars and restaurants, but some collect them as examples of kitsch. History What many would consider to be the earliest US "tiki mugs" were ceramics in the shape of a skull or an ordinary ceramic vessel with a hula girl-related motif. Mugs meant to emulate a tiki carving, what some would consider to be a "true" tiki mug, did not come to the United States until the late 1950s. A little-known an ...

Tazza (cup)
A tazza (, ; ) is a wide but shallow saucer-like dish either mounted on a stem and foot or on a foot alone. The word has been generally adopted by archaeologists and connoisseurs for this type of vessel, used either for drinking, serving small items of food, or just for display. Tazze are most commonly made in metal, glass, or ceramics, but may be made of other materials. The Farnese Tazza is a 2nd-century BC cameo cup of Hellenistic Egypt in four-layered sardonyx agate. It is in the Naples National Archaeological Museum (Inv. MANN 27611), and is wide. The shape and the name are sometimes adopted for reference to very large sculptured objects, especially ones used for fountains. The colossal tazza in the Linda Hall Library, Kansas City, Missouri, is one of the largest pieces of malachite in North America. It was presented by Czar Nicholas II to August Heckscher in 1910 and given to the Linda Hall Library in 1972 by Mrs. Helen Spencer. It is the focal point at the c ...

Stemware
Stemware is drinkware where the bowl stands on a ''stem'' above a ''foot'' (base that allows to put the vessel down onto a table). It is usually made from glass, but may be made from ceramics or metals. The stemware is intended for cool beverages, like water or wine. The stem allows the drinker to hold the glass without affecting the temperature of the drink. The snifters represent an exception, as they are designed to hold the bowl in a cup of the hand to warm up the beverage. History The glass stemware, with either flat or domed feet, appeared in Middle Ages. Prior to that, a typical drinking vessel made of glass was either a tumbler (unlike the modern ones, these have rounded bases and could literally tumble) or a pointed-base design intended for insertion into the ground or streambed for cooling. The early designs of the foot used thick rims manufactured by folding edges of the foot over itself. This prevented cracking, but increased the weight of the glass, so in En ...

Sake Set
A consists of the flask and cups used to serve ''sake''. ''Sake'' sets are most often in Japanese pottery, but may be wood, lacquered wood, glass or plastic. The flask and cups may be sold individually or as a set. Sake cups are normally small, with variable shapes but based on traditional bowls used for tea. They are normally without handles, and most often without stems. Server The server of a ''sake'' set is a flask called a ''tokkuri'' (). A ''tokkuri'' is generally bulbous with a narrow neck, which tends to be called a "flask" in English, but may have a variety of other shapes, including that of a spouted vessel (''katakuchi''), similar to a Western teapot. Traditionally, heated ''sake'' is often warmed by placing the ''sake''-filled ''tokkuri'' in a pan of hot water, and thus the narrowed neck would prevent the heat from escaping. In more authentic places such as '' oden'' bars and '' ryōtei'' in Japan, sake is sometimes warmed and served in metal containers known a ...

Tableware
Tableware items are the dishware and utensils used for setting a table, serving food, and dining. The term includes cutlery, glassware, serving dishes, serving utensils, and other items used for practical as well as decorative purposes. The quality, nature, variety and number of objects varies according to culture, religion, number of diners, cuisine and occasion. For example, Middle Eastern, Indian or Polynesian food culture and cuisine sometimes limits tableware to serving dishes, using bread or leaves as individual plates, and not infrequently without use of cutlery. Special occasions are usually reflected in higher quality tableware. Cutlery is more usually known as ''silverware'' or ''flatware'' in the United States, where ''cutlery'' usually means knives and related cutting instruments; elsewhere cutlery includes all the forks, spoons and other silverware items. Outside the US, ''flatware'' is a term for "open-shaped" dishware items such as plates, dishes and bo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quaich
A quaich , Archaism, archaically quaigh or quoich, is a special kind of shallow two-handled Drinking#Alcoholic beverages, drinking cup or Bowl (vessel), bowl of a type traditional in Scotland. It derives from the Scottish Gaelic (), meaning a cup. History According to the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, 1911 ''Encyclopædia Britannica'', the quaich was inspired by the low silver bowls with two flat handles frequently used as bloodletting, bleeding vessels in England and the Netherlands in the 17th century. Another popular theory suggests that the shape is derived from scallop, scallop shells. However, this seems to have had its origins in the poems of James Macpherson which were once thought to be translations of poems by Ossian, son of Fionn mac Cumhaill. In his 1955 monograph ''Some Scottish Quaichs'', Richard L. McClenahan, an American collector, suggests that the quaich evolved directly from the medieval mazer (drinking vessel), mazer. This seems unlikely as the form and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
