Errata
There are a number of Errors in the book, and the errors can be placed into a number of different categories. The first ones are editing errors that should have been caught during the editing process. To detect these errors, no understanding of the topic is required. The second type of error are errors in classification that are fairly straightforward, while the third type are not necessarily errors in classification, but where I believe there is a more appropriate category then the one that Pickvet chose.
Note: Glasses are listed with a code made up of three parts, separated by dashes:
- Pickvet's Number that he assigned to the glass,
- the book the glass appears in and
- the page number in that book that the listing appears.
So PHS180-4-68 means that the glass has been given pickvet number PHS180 and it appears in book number 4 on page number 68 .

| Inconsistent Classification |
SUS300-4-97 and
TGA431-4-105 | both are glasses for the 1996 Olympic games that were held in Atlanta. One glass was classified as "Sport US" while the other was "Tourist Georgia." I believe that Olympic glasses should be classified as "Sport US" but regardless of where they end up, the classification should be consistent. |
Sport US or
Sport State or
Adv or
Tourist | Major Sporting Events are classified differently |
| TIN121-4-224 | Indy 500 - Tourist or Sport? |
SUS130-4-95
SUS133-4-95 | America's Cup = Sport US |
| SUS310-4-96 | World Cup = Sport US |
| ANE140 | Pan American Games -- wouldn't "Sport US" be better? |
| SUS051-4-95 | World Series = Sport US --(the description does not mention the design on the other side, but I can tell from the picture that it is the Braves) |
| SUS052-4-95 | World Series = Sport US --(the description does not mention the design on the other side, and I cannot tell from the picture, but it should be Toronto) |
| SNY218-4 | 1996 World Series Champs = Tourist or Sport US |
| SUS203-4-96 | SuperBowl = Sport US |
| SUS204-4-96 | SuperBowl = Sport US |
| STX150-4-93 | SuperBowl Champs = State Sport |

Area for debate
| Definitions |
| page 10 | "Manufacturers have continuously pushed the limits in creative design. They made glasses outside of these dimensions and advertised and sold them as shot glasses" --
The old definition does not fit anymore -- Good! |
| page 12 | "A shotglass is a tumbler"
-- In an earlier book Pickvet explained that a tumbler has a flat or convex (curved outward) base. Since most Shotglasses have concave bases, (ones that curve inward -- they leave a ring after you pick them up) the definition of "tumbler" does not apply, and never really did. Libbey Glass agrees that not all shotglasses are tumblers, and they separate shotglasses that are tumblers from those that are not. Libbey Glass Catalog. |
| page 12 | "A shotglass is a tumbler, which means that it it usually does not have a stem, handle, or separate foot, though there are those with tiny feet that were made as shot glasses"
-- As mentioned above, the term tumbler is not accurate, and now he mentions that some shotglasses have feet, which does not fit the old definition. |
| page 12 | "A shotglass ... usually does not have a ...handle"
-- Libbey has been making a shotglass with handle for years style 5026 - Shot Glass - Maritime. Federal made mini-mug shotglasses for years. As mentioned above, the old definition just is not accurate |
| page 12 | "Bootglasses are not tumblers since the base is not convex"
-- But most shotglasses do not have convex bases either, so this either means - that most shotglasses aren't shotglasses OR
- that this as a fallacious argument
Since this is a false argument, bootglasses should not be excluded. Also Libbey makes a boot 97038 - Boot Shot - Plain that they call a shot. |
| page 12 | "Old English dram glasses and some modern whiskey glasses are made of metal"
-- OK but why does a shotglass have to be made out of glass? Eyeglasses are often made out of non-glass materials, but does that mean they should be named eye-plastics? |
| page 12 | "Plastic is not true glass either."
-- If the Alcoholic beverage industry has decided that plastic is a valid material for shotglasses, why does a shotglass have to be made out of glass? (see above) |
| page 12 | "Small candleholders for instance are designed to hold 2" diameter candles"
-- Actually, Libbey has been making this style of glass as a Jigger since the 50s or 60s Style 2303 - Jigger - Lexington and although it has been adopted by the candle industry, it is still a Jigger -- and FGP116-4-57 which is in Pickvet's book is that size/shape with a modified base |
| | |
| "black porcelain replica" | Pickvet uses this name for "black" glasses. The problem is that there are at least two different types of "black" glass, one is actually a very dark purple or amethyst, while others are truly black (no light passes through). You need to hold the glass up to a strong light to tell the difference. |

| Classification |
| ANE405 and 406 | not advertising but barware -- part of a set of four by Anchor Hocking => P?? |
| ANF025-4-29 | tequila cuervo unico -- shouldn't this be classified under Mexico? |
| ASX001 | "en mexico" -- shouldn't this be classified under Mexico? |
| PPD153 | description says "polo player" -- looks more like a fox hunt outfit |
| PPE001 to 004 | made in Canada => CN? |
| PML250 | shouldn't this be MSG -- it has more than just a line |
| Sport or Tourist | Kentucky Derby glasses (and other triple crown races) are classified as Tourist. I think Sport is more appropriate |
| Sport or Advertising | NASCAR glasses are classified as Advertising. I think Sport is more appropriate. |
| SUS020-4-94 | baseball hall of fame -- why Sport and not Tourist? |
| UCA260 | Although the Scripps Institution is associated with the University of California, San Diego, I wouldn't call the glass "University" |
| | |
| | |
multiple locations
multiple states | busch gardens, six flags, disney, some casinos (especially Caesars) -- some glasses were available in multiple states -- Designs without a city name, should be listed as US |
| | Sea World (without city names) were available in 3 or 4 states => should be US |
| TTN108-1-132 | Lee Surrendered... -- available in multiple states => should be US |
| | rebel flag -- available in multiple states => should be US |
| | The Ozarks - cover parts of AR and MO -- where do you put it? |
| | Hoover Dam - on the border of AZ and NV -- where do you put it? |
| | Lake Tahoe - on the border of CA and NV -- where do you put it? |
| | |
| Sport Teams | A description that says "team logo" is not good enough. Many teams have changed their logo, so the description of the glass needs a description of the logo. |
| | |
| Sets That Are Not Listed As Sets |
| DMS601-4-45 | is part of a Federal set (with PPD001, PPD003 and PPA008 as indicated by two, identical boxed sets) |
| DMS604 | is part of a decanter set and other than color, the same as DTP302 |
| | |
| | |
| Set: Soda | members not associated with each other coke (ANE041) 7-up (ANE056) Nesbitt's (not listed) and Welch's (not listed) -- probably should not be classified as Advertising either |
| Set: Have A Belt | PPD181 - part of a set of 4 -- different colored belts |
| Set: Bartlett Collins Natives | PPA208 belongs with PPD012 PPD013 PPD014 |
| | There are probably more sets that need to be identified -- see my database where I indicate sets including those from my collection of sets in their original boxes. |
| Many Sport glasses belong to different "sets" -- from different years -- but the descriptions do not make it clear which glass belongs to which set. The pictures do, in most cases. |
| Set: MLB Anniversary | SCA050, SIL209, |
| Set: NFL Shield | SCA051 (CHARGERS), SCA309 (CHARGERS), SIL301, SMI050, |

| Set: NFL Names On Back (Thin Base) | SMO100-4-91 -- thin base glasses are newer than those with thick bases -- thick base should have the name Papel on the bottom |
| Set: NFL with Circled TM : | SCA101-4-86 SCO100-4-87 SLA100-4-89 SMA100-4-89 SNY100-4-91 SOH100-4-92 STX100-4-93 |
| Set: Double TM | another NFL set has a TM associated with both the Helmet and with the Team Name |
SCA051 AND
SCA309 | What distinguishes the two glass? |
SFL101 AND
SFL308 | What distinguishes the 80s glass from the 90s glass? |

Other Problems or Comments
| page 13: | table lists ANT, BTU and IAG as glass types, but there are no glasses in the Pricing Guide section with these classifications |
| page 13: | there is a PPP010 but PPP is not in the table |
| page 14: | there are FQCs in the Pricing Guide section but Q is not in the Countries table |
| ANN170 to 173 | lists four styles, but without 4 pictures or better description, cannot tell what glass is what number |
| ANN203 to 206 | multiple items, but without better description, cannot tell what glass is what number |
| PPD020 to 023 | not 40s -- probably 70s like PPD306 |
| Theme Restaurants |
| ATR | Planet Hollywood has put out three types of glass: Flared, Std and Tall |
| ATR | Rainforest Cafe -- two designs - tree and frog |
| ATR | All Star Cafe -- two designs -- none listed |

| Sport Glass comments |
| | NASCAR releases new glasses every year |
| | Kentucky Derby puts out multiple Designs and/or multiple Glass Shapes every year. Derby shots started in 1987, and the 1987 glasses are the most valuable, with values starting at about $300. |
| | The "rare" gold derby glass comes from a limited edition Triple Crown Set, containing one Belmont glass, one Derby glass, one and Preakness glass |
| | Pickvet lists Preakness glasses starting in 1990 -- As best as I can find, the first Preakness glass is from 1992. Also, he lists all glasses as multicolored -- most of them are a single colored design. |
| | Pickvet lists Belmont glasses starting in 1990 -- As best as I can find, the first Belmont glass is from 1992. |
| | Another horse race, the Breeders Cup, has been putting out glasses since 1988. |

| | Why use abbreviations such as "ard" in descriptions? |
| | Most DWA items should probably move to W.. |
