Note 28 — Chapter III
Reading edition
These glasses were made rounded or pointed at the bottom; thus they must have been filled while held, and could not without spilling have been set down till emptied. From these the name of “tumblers” takes its origin. For a drinking-cup and wine-pitcher, see our cut, Fig. 225, and for two of these “tumblers,” see Figs. 228 and 231.
