- Tumbler - A drinking glass, without a handle, originally with a pointed or rounded bottom so that it could not be put down until empty. From the seventeenth century the glass tumbler had a heavy flat bottom, making it more likely it would not fall over. They were also made in silver, horn and ceramic. The concept of a drinking vessel which could not be placed on a table was not uncommon, as seen in a stirrup cup, the contents of which were drunk from the saddle. The same word is used to describe an acrobat who performs somersaults.
