Rummer
The heavy, stepped foot of this vessel and its engraved decoration suggest it was purchased by George Washington in the 1790s. The Washingtons likely used it to serve claret at Mount Vernon. Rummers derived their name from the German drinking glass known as a "roemer," which featured a large bowl.
