Anotations

Scope note:

Drinking glasses having a small bowl and relatively short stem, intended for serving liqueurs, which are strong alcoholic drinks sweetened and flavored with aromatic substances. In a set of matching glasses, a liqueur glass is generally the smallest of the set, smaller than a port glass. While the meaning overlaps with "cordial glasses," cordial glasses typically have a very tall stem proportionally to the size of the small bowl, while liqueur glasses have a short stem. Modern liqueur glasses may lack a stem entirely.
