Tumbler (glass)






A classic 20-facet Soviet table-glass, produced in the city of Gus-Khrustalny since 1943.


A tumbler is a flat-bottomed beverage container usually made of plastic or glass.


Theories vary as to the etymology of the word tumbler. One such theory is that the glasses originally had a pointed or convex base and could not be set down without spilling. Another is that they had weighted bottoms which caused them to right themselves if knocked over.[1]
