Additional Information : Of all 18th and 19th century drinking glasses that we sell on a regular basis the pan top rummer is without doubt our best seller full stop.We decided to conduct a little survey amongst those who have bought pairs and sets of pan top rummers in the last year to ascertain why this was the case. We were told that not only are they easy on the eye but they are great to use. robust. can survive the dishwasher be that a modern electric contraption or a ‘domestic engineer’. More than two thirds of those who purchased big rummers use them for cocktails such as bloody mary. gin and tonic. caipirinha or drinks served with ice the remainder for beer or wine and even Irish coffee.

Our view is that they represent the most fantastic value for money compared to modern paper thin lightweight. chip prone. cheap crystal that purport to be fit for purpose and sold and supplied via modern chain stores and the web ‘direct from china’. With the sorry demise of the British glass manufacturing industry such quality is hard to come by without parting with a kings ransom. Buy British. buy antique and save enough money to fill your rummer for quite a while.We had never heard of a caipirinha but we have placed an order for the cane sugar spirit by Cia Müller de Bebidas with uvinum.co.uk to further advance our research.
