Modelled on a Seventeenth Century short stemmed wine glass. This particular style originated far earlier in Roman glass workshops.
The Large Rummer is as suited to beer (as it was originally designed for, in 17th Century Bavaria), stout or long drinks. Its large capacity also makes it a very nice glass for any cocktail. It was actually not uncommon in the 19th century to have oversized rummers (up to 12 inches) at the table for mixing punch before sharing it between the guests’ smaller rummers.
Today, good quality Rummers are hard to come by as only a handful of Glass-blowers still produce them across the world and we are very proud at Jerpoint Glass to be perpetuating the making of a such an iconic glass. Our pontil mark is apparent as we hand finish every single one of our glass. The glass we use, however lead free, has the same quality weight, transparency and feel that would have been expected from a high quality handmade Rummer in the 18th and 19th centuries, which is arguably the height of the Rummer era.
