What kind of dinner service dish is this?
I have a 1881 Rogers of Canada serving piece and I can't seem to figure out what you call it. It looks like a soup tureen, it's four footed on short feet, has a lid and inside has a porcelain bowl and then a silver ring that lays in the bowl at the bottom and then in the middle of that a crystal flat round dish that looks like and ashtray. Any help please?
I don't have the answer but there is a website www.replacements.com and you could ask them and I'm sure they would have an answer. They have responded to my requests for help identifying objects usually within 24 hours.

Each type of drink that you serve requires a different type of drink glass - that is if you want to use the correct drink etiquette when you are entertaining. When shopping for glasses for your cupboard or china cabinet, you really do need to have a selection of several different kinds. Water are the most common and these are the ones that you will need to have the most of. There are also different sizes to choose from.
You use drink glasses on a daily basis on the table, but there are some that are only used for special occasions. These include fine crystal that you use to grace your table on special events. You would not store this kind of glassware in the kitchen cupboards with the rest. Instead these are the ones you would keep in your china cabinet. The glass is very fine and easy to break. They cannot be washed in the dishwasher and require careful washing by hand.
While you do need to have a selection of drink glasses, you don't have to pay a lot of money to have this wide selection. In addition to cheap water and juice types, you can buy cheap wine, cocktail and martini ones because discount glass is used in the construction of these drinking vessels. Large size water glasses can also double for beer, unless you want to buy beer steins or large ones with handles that make them look more like mugs.
There are many different kinds of drink glasses for wine as well as drink coasters, but basically you only need to look at four main types. These kinds are generally made of fine glass because thicker glass is said to affect the taste of the wine. Red wine glasses are tall and wide so that you can get a greater sense of the full-bodied taste of the wine.
Two of these are recommended - the Bordeaux glass, which is tall and narrow and the Pinot Noir glass which has a rounder bowl. Wine glasses for white wine are generally smaller, with an opening that is slightly larger than the body of the glass. Champagne Flutes are tall and thin so that the bubbles will build up the way they should when you pour it into the glass.
If you like liqueurs, then you will need to have drink glasses suitable for these drinks. These are small, have a stem, and hold between 1 and 4 ounces of liquid. You can also have this type of drinking glass without a stem. These look beautiful with sandstone coasters.
One of the unique types of glass that you can buy is called the Grappa glass. This glass is designed for drinking the Italian alcoholic drink called Grappa, but it is suitable for any drink, even water. The glass has a stem on which there is a balloon shape that then opens into a regular glass that measures about 7 inches tall in total.
Margarita drink glasses have a bell shaped bowl, whereas those designed for martinis have a cone shaped bowl. Both of these types have footed stems that make them easy to hold. Any glass that does not have a stem is often referred to as a tumbler or a high ball glass and can be used for any kind of drink.

How can I tell if my dog is a siberian husky or an alaskan malamute?
I got her from a flea market...they said she was a siberian husky but the more i look ay siberians the more i think she's something else.
She's about 2 and a half feet tall, black white and a little grey, crystal blue eyes. I think she might be over weight, but what are some characteristics I can look for?
The blue eyes are a dead give away. Mals aren't permitted to have blue eyes. But then again, you did buy her from a flea market. I doubt high quality breeders are hanging out there dying to sell their dogs. Chances are she is a large sibe simply because of poor breeding.
