About the Rocks Glass from America's Packard Museum

Enjoy your favorite refreshment with this rocks glass, embossed with the logo of America’s Packard Museum. This is a standard Rocks (Old Fashioned) Glass, best for neat pours, small ice cubes, or a classic 2-ounce pour of your beverage of choice. The thick base provides weight, stability, and helps keep the drink cold. The wide rim allows room for ice and lets aromas rise toward your nose. The short profile makes it easy to sip from and sturdy enough for muddling ingredients.

The rocks glass originated in the 17th and 18th centuries from the Scottish quaich, a shallow two-handled vessel made of materials such as wood, silver, and leather. Beginning in the 19th century, these ornately-decorated cups were slowly replaced by the glass tumbler, which had greater mass appeal and were cheaper to produce.
