Hi everyone, here are a few drinking glasses I pulled out of the ground. As you can see I cleaned them up and gave them a nice tumble. The other picture shows what the mug based one looked like before a tumble. I have about a dozen clear mug based glasses that I have dug over the years in different sizes and slight variation in designed. The one on the right is a first for me, it looks like a fountain drink glass or an ice cream float glass.
I drink out of these things all the time! Even though they were covered in hundreds of gallons of poop! Its really cool to think about who might have been drinking from these things 130 + years ago.
I know rick has a bottle he drinks out of, I believe a seitz squat. Are there any others who go on the wild side and drink from their privy or dump found items.
I would love to put together a nice set of the mug based glasses in different colors. I know Pittsburgh glass houses made some very fine pieces but I have yet to find any in any other colors. Do any of you have any in your collection? I would love to see some pictures!
