footed Explanation: Although the kind of 'traditional' Coke glass I'm familiar with certainly might be described as 'fluted' or 'ribbed', but doesn't have a 'foot', the one specifically illustrated here DOES have a foot but is NOT fluted / ribbed. So as has already been said, it is the supplier's website that gives the correct expression. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 heures (2014-08-25 05:43:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- FYI, 'footed' is the correct description for this type of glass that has a protruding ridge around the base for added stability. Although we are used to thinking of tjhe type of 'foot' you find on a typical wine glass, in actually fact this style of glass is probably more commonly known as a 'stem' glass. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 heures (2014-08-25 07:49:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For comparison, here is an image of one other type of 'classic' Coke glass: http://www-static.weddingbee.com/pics/160588/coke_glass.jpg This one might be described as 'fluted' — though I'd personally be more inclined to refer to it as 'ribbed'; and although it does get ever so slightly broader at the base, I hardly think it really and truly qualifies as 'footed'. |
