A personal note regarding early baluster glasses :

There are various theories about the thinness of the wine glass rim, and how this affects the taste.

Personally I find these early 18th century English heavier walled glasses mysteriously

impart a softness and mellowness to their contents.

This has been consistent from all liqueurs to both red and white wines.

Each experience has been quite enjoyable - and entreats "one more glass please".

 

6" High / 2.5" The Rim / 2-5/8" The Foot / 6.6 oz.
