Spitfire Etched Tankard Beer Glass with Handle - Clear

This clear beer glass takes the classic tankard shape and carries an etched Spitfire across its front: a frosted silhouette of the famous aircraft seen from overhead, with camouflage markings over its wings, body and tail and a roundel on each wing. Beneath it, the word SPITFIRE is etched in neat capitals near the base, so the design names itself. It stands 13.5cm tall, 12.5cm wide and 10cm deep, with straight sides that flare gently at the foot, a chunky squared handle and a thick glass base that gives it a solid footing.

This is a glass made to be used, whether at the kitchen table, in a home bar or on the shelf with your everyday glassware. The handle keeps warm hands away from the drink, which suits a chilled beer, a cider or a shandy on a summer evening, and the clear glass shows off the colour of whatever you pour. The Spitfire design brings a nod to aviation history to the table without shouting about it, and it sits happily alongside plain glasses for a relaxed mix. We think it makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift, simple to wrap and ready to use the same day.

The tankard is made from clear glass with a shiny finish, and the etched Spitfire and lettering have a soft frosted look that stands out crisply against it. Etching marks the surface of the glass itself rather than adding a print on top, so there is no paint or transfer to think about. As good practice for etched glassware, we would wash it by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth to keep the glass bright. Set it out with a bottle of a favourite ale for Father's Day, or give it on its own as a gift with a story behind it.
