What is the name of the trick wine glass that drains its contents when too full?
I read about it a few years back - there's a glass invented... I want to say around Roman times as a party trick. The goblet would drain when the person tries to drink from it if it were filled too high. Anyone know what it's called?
for those who want to know, after hours of searching, I FOUND IT (on my old computer, still hours lol): Pythagoras Cup. Hah.

Hand Painted Wine Glasses: Treasures for any event or occasion
Wine glasses come in many shapes, colors, and sizes. One way to set your glassware apart from the myriad of others is to own custom hand painted wine glasses. They are a great addition to anyone's collection. Customized unique glasses will stand out on any table. The tableware comes in handy for cocktail parties, barbeques, cook outs, picnics, and general entertaining. The many styles can be used for special occasions and varying beverage types. Last but not least, these items can be used as gifts for all types of events. Most people find that hand painted wine glasses serve as the next evolution of adult beverage holders.
Several shapes and sizes make hand painted wine glasses convenient regardless of what you are drinking. One shape in particular is the Champaign flute that usually holds six to seven ounces. This glass is elongated with a round base. This design is to allow the carbonation to flow the full length of the glass. The design also aids in the appearance and aesthetics of the drink. Another style is the water goblet. A water goblet is enlarged with a standard sized rim tapering out to a large container. Water goblets typically hold thirteen to sixteen ounces. These goblets can be alternately used as wine goblets for the more adventurous. Standard wine glasses hold eight ounces and are of a classic shape. The only differentiation from this standard is the red wine holder is that it can hold nine ounces.
There are many styles, colors, and designs for all occasions. A thanksgiving dinner with goblets painted in cornucopias, Indian corn, turkeys, and other festive designs can help bring in the atmosphere. A Christmas un-packaging with glasses decorated with holly, reindeer, snowmen, Christmas trees, and others can really add to Christmas cheer. Other non-specific occasions such as impromptu parties can be enhanced with party glasses decorated in balloons, streamers, party hats, and confetti. The Fourth of July is also another good holiday for unique glassware. Fireworks, flags, and red white and blue - is there a better way to celebrate Independence Day? There really is no limit to the number of occasions that hand painted wine glasses could fit.
Hand painted wine glasses make exceptional gifts. Much of the time these glasses can be seen making a classy appearance at weddings. Each bridesmaid and groomsman will frequently have a customized glass to their name and attire. Each member of the wedding party then has a privatized take home item to remind them of the event. Glasses also make wonderful birthday presents. The glass can be personalized with the age, event, name, and any other meaningful touch. Retirement, appreciation (Boss's day, secretary's day, mothers day, fathers day etc), and holidays are just a few of the many gift giving opportunities that hand painted wine glasses can fulfill.
Hand painted wine glasses come in many varieties, can be used in many situations and occasions, and make the ideal personal gift for any event. One should consider adding these to any tableware collection.
