British Pub Glasses
When you order a pint in a British pub, look for the official Royal Crown government stamp below the lip of the glass. It certifies that your glass contains every precious drop of the 20 fluid ounces you’re entitled to, according to the UK National Weights and Measurements Laboratory.

The British were drinking in pubs long before America was discovered, and have spent centuries refining the glassware in which they serve their cherished pints. When you order a pint in a British pub, look for the official Royal Crown government stamp below the lip of the glass. It certifies that your glass contains every precious drop of the 20 fluid ounces you’re entitled to, according to the UK National Weights and Measurements Laboratory. Better yet, enjoy this matching set of four authentic British pub glasses in your own home. As you sip your brew, notice how comfortably the glass fits in your hand, and admire the ridge (may we say “bulge”?) near the top. It helps you keep a firm grip on the glass.
Please Note: Due to Britain being "harmonised" with Europe, a new European stamp is being phased in and the traditional crown is being phased out on pub glasses. The number 2043 seen in the image represents the factory that stamps the glass, but due to some new regulations in the UK, this factory has stopped trading, and therefore this number no longer appears on our glasses. The glasses we sell are made especially for customers in the US as a nostalgic item or past tradition.
