Really Cool Glass

My Mom gave us a couple of these. She told us they were brandy glasses.

The idea, I think , is the brandy is warmed by your hand, and you sip it from the stem, which is hollow, like a straw.

She served us. good brandy in them and it was a real hoot drinking out of them

That is a unique glass for sure!

I just found out that it's a Port glass....

[Richnimrod]

That explains why I'd never seen one, I guess.   Not really a Port fan... ever.

Same here....I'm not a fan of wine in any form...

I’m good for a couple of bottles of port a year, and certainly this time of year with the Holidays.  I’m not sure if trust myself with that glass, however.  I tend to gnaw on fountain drink straws, so I could see me crunching that into a mess of glass shards…

It looks like a Copita glass with legs and a tail.
