The Georgian toasting glass was specifically designed for toasting, which was a popular social custom during the Georgian era. The glasses were typically large and heavy with a thick stem and a wide, round bowl. They were often decorated with cutting or engraving, and could be plain or coloured. To use a Georgian toasting glass, the host or hostess would typically fill the glass with wine or another alcoholic beverage, and then pass it to the guest of honour. The guest would then make a toast, often to the health of the host or hostess or to some other important person or event. After the toast, the guest would drink from the glass and then pass it to the next person, who would make their own toast.
