Tot or Shot Tavern toasting Glass with heavy solid base, Ca 1830
About the Item
This is a very good English hand made Tot or Shot Tavern drinking glass, dating to the 19th Century, Circa 1830.
This is a small, heavy drinking glass made from English lead glass which is relatively heavy and has a soft grey colour.
The glass has a tumbler shape with a thick, heavy solid glass base. These glasses were seen in English taverns for taking shots ( tots) of spirit drinks.
They were often used for "toasting" where after taking the drink the glass would be repeatedly banged on the table , producing a firing sound - hence firing glass.
The base shows good wear around the foot rim from use. There are no chips, cracks or any evidence of restoration.
