A year or so ago, I was in an Antiques and Collectable store in Portland, Oregon. There I saw an old fashioned drinking glass (see left above). It was a dollar and I bought it because it reminds me of the gone-a-go days of drinking wine from these glasses. They still use them for that in Europe. I noted at the time that the bottom is marked, in English, "Made in Spain".
A couple of years ago were traveling around Spain and I found a store like we have called, "Made In Spain". Ours are "Made in Oregon". We went in. It was brightly lighted and reminded me of IKEA. On a display near the entry were these old fashioned glasses in three sizes: wine, high ball, and water. As a scotch drinker, I knew I needed to pay 2 Euros for the high ball size. I now have a set of old-new glasses. It is complete as I rarely drink water.
