heavy glass
Substantial drinking vessel
Heavy glass refers to glassware that is thick, substantial, and weighty—the kind that feels solid in your hand.
It often describes tumblers, ashtrays, or decorative pieces meant to convey durability or quality: The whiskey came in heavy glass tumblers.
In technical contexts, heavy glass may refer to glass with high lead content, which increases both weight and optical clarity.
