About Antique Etched Beer Glasses

Embossed advertising glasses with brewery names and logos began appearing in the 1880s, followed by etched glasses at the turn of the century, and then frosted glasses which remained popular through Prohibition. Etched glasses were made by cutting into the glass while frosting is the process of spraying onto the surface. Both were superceded after Prohibition by thicker, painted glasses.
