 How to buy

The name perhaps derives from German "roemer", but its association with rum, the drink of the Navy, seems more plausible. Towards the end of the 18th century and into the 19th a hot toddy of rum, water, spices and sugar would be drunk from these glasses. We always have a selection in stock, ranging in price from £50 upwards.
