The list of glassware[1] includes drinking vessels (drinkware) and tableware used to set a table for eating a meal, general glass items such as vases, and glasses used in the catering industry. It does not include laboratory glassware.
Drinkware
Drinkware, beverageware (in other words, cups) is a general term for a vessel intended to contain beverages or liquid foods for drinking or consumption.[2]
The word cup comes from Middle English cuppe, from Old English, from Late Latin cuppa, drinking vessel, perhaps variant of Latin cupa, tub, cask.[2] The first known use of the word cup is before the 12th century.[4]

Tumblers are flat-bottomed drinking glasses.

- Dizzy cocktail glass, a glass with a wide, shallow bowl, comparable to a normal cocktail glass but without the stem
- Highball glass, for mixed drinks[6]
- Iced tea glass

- Old fashioned glass, traditionally, for a simple cocktail or liquor "on the rocks" or "neat". Contemporary American "rocks" glasses may be much larger, and used for a variety of beverages over ice
- Shot glass, a small glass for up to four ounces of liquor. The modern shot glass has a thicker base and sides than the older whiskey glass. The word "shot" is rumored to have come the Old West where cowboys paid for whiskey by trading booze for bullets. Another theory is that the drink is named after Friedrich Otto Schott, a man who started a glassworks factory that made shot glasses in America.
