Drinking Vessels

There are different sizes of the vessels line of stoneware that Iron Mountain Stoneware created. There has been much confusion about their purpose and often they are all listed as being used for the same purpose--candlestick holders!  When you see these for sale on eBay or in antique stores, there were actually four sizes.  The largest was intended to be a water goblet, the next smaller size was for white wine, and the next for red wine.  The most shallow of the four was actually intended to be a candleholder--but the other three were for serving either water or wine.  Of course, you can use them for any purpose you wish and the catch-all name of vessels does not limit you to how you use them.  I took a photo of the four sizes today of random ones from my personal collection to help you see them when side-by-side.  Hope that helps some of you with identifying what you currently have or identify the ones you might wish to seek out.
