DEFINITION...
Used to accurately measure the dose of a liquid medication, "Medicine [dose] glasses for domestic use date back to early 19th century, and by the middle of the century they were a common item. The Whitall Tatum Company and others supplied medicine glasses embossed with the store name or any other advertising ordered by the druggist. Patent (proprietary) medicine companies also distributed dose glasses with advertising embossed or engraved on them. Most were made of flint glass, but some colored ones were also made." Quoted from THE PILL ROLLERS: Apothecary Antiques and Drug Store Collectibles by Charles G. and Lillian C. Richardson.
It seems that Whitall Tatum & Company (glass factory in Millville, NJ) was the most prolific manufacturer of lettered plate embossed dose glasses. As I randomly go through 25 dose glasses in my collection, 18 (72%) show a Whitall Tatum makers mark on the bottom. Most of the others either have no manufacturer mark or have the letter "C" or "E" or "M" embossed on the bottom. These markings may merely be a mold letter instead of an indication of a specific maker. Custom lettered medicine glasses also appear in catalogs by the John M. Maris & Co. (of Philadelphia, PA) and the Cambridge Glass Co. (of Cambridge, OH). See photos of these catalog ads in the "Glass Catalogs" section of this website. Any information on other manufacturers of dose glasses would be greatly appreciated. Additional information is needed on the origin of glasses (like several found in N.Z., Australia and Canada) which are embossed with 'M & CO / NY' inside a keystone shaped border.
