Mark Pickvet has written another book about shotglasses. The text portions of
the book are minimal, but the text contains interesting revelation -- Pickvet
has loosened his definition for a shotglass:
"shot glasses vary widely in style and shape; nevertheless the overall
determining factor is that it is a small drinking vessel of small capacity"
Small capacity might mean that one is perhaps 3-1/2-ounces or 3-1/2-inches in height.
Unfortunately, he still excludes a number of items that most collectors would not.
Unlike his earlier books, the majority of the illustrations in this book are
color photographs, although there are a number of drawings and other types of
images. The book includes a number of new types of glasses, including those
from NASCAR, glasses from the triple crown horse races and those from Theme
Restaurants. The Hard Rock Cafe glasses do not mention the shape of the glass,
but I believe that most of the Hard Rock designs that he lists were not
available on "standard" shaped glasses, so they must be the Tall glasses, which
he has not included before.
Like most web sites, this place is always being worked on. If
you find a problem, let me know. If you have something you would like
to see, let me know. If you like what you see, let me know
