GLASSES FROM AROUND THE GLOBE...

It seems that druggists from all over the globe used dose glasses to advertise their shops or products and to provide their customers with a tool to accurately measure a dose of liquid medication. Embossed advertising medicine glasses have been found from countries such as Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Cuba, France, Germany, Mexico, Spain, UK and Uruguay (see individual listings below).  Some imported their glasses from the US, as evidenced by the fact that many have the Whitall Tatum mark on the bottom. Others used indigenous glass factories to produce their wares. These locally produced glasses sometimes differ from the standard sizes or shapes that are found in the US manufactured glasses. These are referred to as non-typical glasses. Other examples which are similar in size and shape to the usual US made glasses (but may or may not bear the manufacturer's mark), are known as typical glasses. Dose glasses from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the U.S.A. can be found on this website under their respective headings. Some examples from other countries are listed here (a few pictures can be seen below) :
