I don't know the type of glass(whiskey glass, tumbler maybe?) but she got me the most lovely doctor who drinking glass. It is clear glass with a frosted Dalek etched into it. It came in the mail quite promptly and I am enamored with the gift. No smudges or cracks, simply brilliant. I am fighting with myself to race to fridge and fix a drink versus setting it upon my shelf to be gazed upon in awe and jealousy while preserving the beauty of the glass. But I must enjoy my gift so to the kitchen I go. Thank you so much, it was a wonderful gift.
