Scope note
Drinking glasses, usually crystal or glass, in the shape of a handbell, having a bell-shaped bowl, a stem without a foot, and often a clapper. The bell is rung when the glass has been emptied. The glass can only stand when empty and turned upside down. For bells found on tables to call attendants during meals, use "table bells (clapper bells)."
