    These are Georgian 4 wrythen ale glasses, circa 1780-1810. They are all roughly 5 inches tall.

    One of the things I collect is Georgian ale glasses, so I thought I should bore you with a few of them. In general they are this conical shape, and are not big by modern beer glass standards. They are quite often either wrythen as these ones are or are plain and have hops a etched on to them.

    I love the little variations in them. Is that a bit OCD??
