Description
Our clear beer glass is a classic tankard etched with the outline of the Vulcan aircraft, seen from above with its broad delta wings and a camouflage pattern across the wings and body. Beneath it, the word VULCAN is etched in capitals near the base. The etching has a soft frosted look against the shiny clear glass, so the aircraft shows up crisply whether the glass is full or empty. It stands 13.5cm tall, 12.5cm wide and 10cm deep, with straight sides, a thick base and a chunky handle that gives a firm, comfortable grip.
This is a glass for the home bar, the kitchen shelf or the end of a long week, made for ale, lager or cider, or a cold soft drink on a summer evening. The tankard shape and sturdy handle suit a relaxed drink at home, and the Vulcan design makes it a talking point when friends come round. Between uses it sits happily on an open shelf or in a glass-fronted cabinet, where the frosted aircraft catches the light. We think it makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift, an easy choice with real character, and it goes naturally with a favourite bottle for a ready-made present.
The tankard is made of glass with a shiny finish, and the Vulcan design is etched into the surface rather than printed on, which gives it that soft frosted texture. The thick base keeps it steady on the table and the wide handle sits well in the hand. To keep the glass bright, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water, avoiding scourers on the etched area, and drying it with a soft lint-free cloth. Set it out with a cold drink on Father's Day morning, or wrap it in tissue with a card for a gift that earns its place on the shelf.
