Georgian engraving on drinking glasses was an indicator of what the glass was intended for. Hops and barley mean one thing: this is a beer glass. For those wishing to add a dash of Georgian/Victorian colour to their ale (no lager drinkers please) this would make a perfect fathers day or birthday gift.
