I noticed in Uncle Trav’s Rickshaw Inn post that for their Pina Colada they used the same kind of footed glass that Trader Vic's still uses for both the Shingle Stain and the Potted Parrot, does anyone know what that type of glass is called? I like em.
Thank you Uncle Trav!

Ten-Pin Pilsner Glass according to Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide revised edition.

That is indeed the Ten Pin. Looks like an upside down bowling pin hence the name. In my years of collecting I have never found one in the wild. And thanks for posting the pic of the glass.

Thank you Sweet Daddy Tiki, Uncle Trav and Midnite (Off the air)
So who makes those and how does one go about getting a Ten-Pin Pilsner Glass? Martiki? Trader John? TV Warehouse Girls?
I don't think I can just walk into Crate and Barrel and ask for some.

The answer is very simple. Doesn't Trader Vic's Downtown serve drinks in these? I know the one in BH did ( Potted Parrot). If yes, you could ask them if they would sell you one.
