Victorian Penny Lick Glass
Victorian ice cream glass, known as a penny lick.
A penny lick was a small glass for serving ice cream, used in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. Street vendors would sell the contents of the glass for one penny. The glass was usually made with a thick glass base and a shallow depression on top in which the ice cream was placed. The customer would lick clean the glass and return it to the vendor, who would reuse it. When TB (Tuberculosis) started to spread, these glasses were not used anymore.
This is a fine example of its kind...an interesting piece of social history!
In good used condition with no chips or cracks.
Dimensions: 11cm high
