It is gradually revealed that his mother died when he was born , causing his grief - stricken father to be a distant parent to Lars and his older brother , Gus . Gus left town as soon as he could support himself , returning only to inherit his half of the household when the father died . The inheritance has been divided between the brothers : Lars lives in the converted garage ; Gus and his pregnant wife Karin live in the house proper . Karin 's attempts to invite Lars into the house for a family meal are usually unsuccessful ; when he does come , conversation is difficult and he does n't stay long . He avoids social contact , finding it difficult to interact with his family , co-workers , or members of his church . A co-worker , Margo , is interested in him , but he avoids anything more than brief encounters . One day a large package arrives ; that evening Lars tells Gus and Karin that he has a visitor whom he met via the Internet , a wheelchair - mobile missionary of Brazilian and Danish descent named Bianca . They discover that Bianca is a lifelike doll which Lars apparently ordered from an adult website . Concerned about his mental health , they convince Lars to take Bianca for a checkup to the family doctor , Dagmar , who is also a psychiatrist . Dagmar diagnoses Bianca with low blood pressure and advises Lars to bring her in for weekly treatments . Her aim is to have regular contact with Lars , hoping to get to the root of his behavior . She explains to Gus and Karin that his delusion is a manifestation of an underlying problem that needs to be addressed . She urges them to assist with his therapy by treating Bianca as a real person . Lars begins to introduce Bianca as his girlfriend to the townspeople . Due to their concern for Lars , everyone treats Bianca as a real person . Lars soon finds himself interacting more with people . During this time , Margo has begun to date another co-worker , which silently bothers Lars . Lars asks his brother when he knew he had become a man and what being a man means . Gus says when he began doing the right things for the right reasons , even when it hurts . Gus gives several examples , including their father keeping them , and taking care of them , even though he did n't know how . Gus says that he never should have left Lars alone with their father , and he apologizes for being selfish . Their conversation seems to reach Lars and his dependence on Bianca immediately seems to shift . When a co-worker with whom Margo has been playing pranks goes a bit too far , Lars comforts her . During the ensuing conversation , Margo reveals she has broken up with her boyfriend . She invites Lars to go bowling , which he initially declines before reconsidering . The two spend a pleasant evening together along with some other townsfolk . Lars is quick to remind Margo he could never cheat on Bianca . Although obviously disappointed , Margo replies that the thought never crossed her mind . As they part , Lars takes his glove off to shake Margo 's hand -- a significant advance in his ability to interact with others ; he earlier explained to the doctor that others ' touch felt like `` burning '' . One morning soon after , Lars announces that Bianca is unresponsive , and an ambulance rushes her to the hospital . Once there , he tells his family that her prognosis is not good and that Bianca would like to be brought home . The news spreads through town , and everyone whose life has been touched by Bianca sends flowers or sits with Lars at the Lindstrom home . Gus and Karin ask Dagmar why this is happening , and she reveals that it indicates a significant shift for Lars . They suggest that Lars and Bianca join them for a visit to the lake . While the couple is hiking , Lars gives Bianca a very sad farewell kiss . As Gus and Karin make their way back from the hike , they discover despondent Lars in the lake with a ' dying ' Bianca . Bianca is given a full - fledged funeral that is well - attended by the townspeople . After Bianca is buried in the local cemetery , Lars and Margo linger at the grave site . When Margo states that she should catch up with everyone else , Lars asks her to take a walk with him instead , to which she happily agrees .

The film was featured at the Austin Film Festival , the Heartland Film Festival , the Torino Film Festival , the Glasgow Film Festival , and the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria International Film Festival . Critical reception ( edit ) Lars and the Real Girl received overwhelming positive reviews from critics , with Gosling 's performance being universally acclaimed . On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , 81 % of critics gave the film positive reviews , based on 134 reviews with the consensus stating `` Lars and the Real Girl could 've so easily been a one - joke movie . But the talented cast , a great script , and direction never condescend to its character or the audience . '' On Metacritic , the film has an average score of 70 out of 100 , based on 32 reviews . Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times observed , `` The film wisely never goes for even one moment that could be interpreted as smutty or mocking . There are so many ways ( it ) could have gone wrong that one of the film 's fascinations is how adroitly it sidesteps them . Its weapon is absolute sincerity . It has a kind of purity to it . '' Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle called the film `` a gentle comedy , offbeat but never cute , never lewd and never going for shortcut laughs that might diminish character . '' Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said , `` American self - nostalgia is a dependable racket , and if the filmmakers had pushed into the realm of nervous truth , had given Lars and the town folk sustained shadows , not just cute tics and teary moments , it might have worked . Instead the film is palatable audience bait of average accomplishment that superficially recalls the plain style of Alexander Payne , but without any of the lacerating edges or moral ambiguity . '' Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times described it as `` the sweetest , most innocent , most completely enjoyable film around , '' `` a film whose daring and delicate blend of apparent irreconcilables will sweep you off your feet if you 're not careful . The creators of this film were fiercely determined not to go so much as a millimeter over the line into sentiment , tawdriness or mockery . It 's the rare film that is the best possible version of itself , but Lars fits that bill . '' Lou Lumenick of the New York Post awarded the film three out of four stars , calling it `` an offbeat comedy that plays as if Preston Sturges came back to life and collaborated with the Coen Brothers on an updated version of the Jimmy Stewart film Harvey ( 1950 ) . He added the script `` eschews cheap laughs for character - driven humanist comedy , and is sensitively directed by Craig Gillespie . '' Alissa Simon of Variety stated , `` Craig Gillespie 's sweetly off - kilter film plays like a Coen brothers riff on Garrison Keillor 's Lake Wobegon tales , defying its lurid premise with a gentle comic drama grounded in reality ... what 's fresh and charming is the way the characters surrounding the protagonist also grow as they help him through his crisis . '' The film has received favorable reviews from Christian faith - based media , and has been recommended as an instructional tool and a means for opening a dialogue on tolerance .

Its water flows eventually into the Hudson Bay . The Saskatchewan River system is the largest shared between the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan . Its watershed includes most of southern and central Alberta and Saskatchewan .

At its end point at Saskatchewan River Forks it has a mean discharge of 245 cubic metres per second ( 8,700 cu ft / s ) . The yearly discharge at the Alberta -- Saskatchewan border is more than 7 cubic kilometres ( 1.7 cu mi ) . The river begins above 1,800 metres ( 5,900 ft ) at the toe of the Saskatchewan Glacier in the Columbia Icefield , and flows southeast through Banff National Park alongside the Icefields Parkway . At the junction of the David Thompson Highway ( Highway 11 ) , it initially turns northeast for 10 kilometres ( 6.2 mi ) before switching to a more direct eastern flow for about 30 kilometres ( 19 mi ) . At this point , it turns north where it eventually arrives at Abraham Lake . Bighorn Dam constricts the north end of Abraham Lake , where the North Saskatchewan emerges to track eastward to Rocky Mountain House . At Rocky Mountain House , the river abruptly turns north again for 100 kilometres ( 62 mi ) where it switches east towards Edmonton , Alberta . In Edmonton , the river passes through the centre of the city in a northeasterly direction and out towards Smoky Lake at which point it quickly changes to the southeast and then more to the east as it makes its way to the Alberta -- Saskatchewan boundary . From the border , the river flows southeast between North Battleford and Battleford and on in the direction of Saskatoon . About 40 kilometres ( 25 mi ) northwest of Saskatoon , near Langham , the river veers to the northeast where it passes through the City of Prince Albert . About 30 kilometres ( 19 mi ) downstream of Prince Albert , the North Saskatchewan River joins the South Saskatchewan River at Saskatchewan River Forks to become the Saskatchewan River . From there , the river flows east to Tobin Lake and into Manitoba , eventually emptying into Lake Winnipeg . Geography ( edit ) A view of the river looking south from Edmonton 's Glenora neighbourhood The river course can be divided into five distinct sections . The first , the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains , is the smallest area geographically , although the largest in terms of run - off and contributed water flow . The glaciers and perpetual snows of the mountain peaks feed the river year - round . Mountains , with little vegetation , experience fast - melting snow cover . The second section of the river comprises the foothills region . The terrain is hilly and rough , with a deeper and more defined valley . This area is well covered with forest and muskeg , and run - off into the river is much more constant and stable than in the mountains . From Edmonton to the mouth of the Vermilion River , the North Saskatchewan flows through the plains - parkland divide , with occasional stretches of prairie . The North Saskatchewan River valley parks system ; the largest expanses of urban parkland in Canada . Cutting across Edmonton and the Capital Region . The river runs in a well - defined valley with deep cuts in the landscape. The fourth section , from the Vermilion River to Prince Albert is principally prairie with a few small stretches of timber and secondary forest cover . The valley of the river is much wider , and the river itself spreads out across shallow water and flows over many shifting sand bars . Low - lying , flat areas , border the river for much of this section . The final section of the river , from Prince Albert to the Saskatchewan River Forks , has many rapids . The valley is more shallow than the previous sections of the river , and the channel is much better defined . There is little prairie and much tree cover in this section . Geology ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( May 2011 ) The Bridge River Ash is in the vicinity of the North Saskatchewan River , which erupted from the Mount Meager massif in southwestern British Columbia about 2350 years ago . History ( edit ) The river is shown on a Hudson 's Bay Company map from 1760 , labeled as the Beaver River . Its Cree name is kisiskâciwanisîpiy ( swift current ) . From this name is derived the name Saskatchewan , used as well for the South Saskatchewan River and the Saskatchewan River ( to which the North Saskatchewan is a major tributary ) , and the province of that name . Its Blackfoot name is omaka - ty ( big river ) . The North Saskatchewan in Edmonton circa 1913 . Note steamboats in the foreground , construction of the High Level Bridge in the background , and mid-river piers for future Walterdale Bridge between . The section of the North Saskatchewan river that falls within the Banff National Park boundaries has been designated a Canadian Heritage River in 1989 , for its importance in the development of western Canada . The river demarcates the prairie -- parkland divide for much of its course and acted as a natural boundary between plains Blackfoot and woodland Cree First Nations people for thousands of years . With the westward expansion of the fur trade spearheaded by the North West Company and followed by the Hudson 's Bay Company , the river became an important transportation route for fur trade brigades ' York boats , to which it was especially well suited as it follows an eastern trend toward Hudsons Bay , the entry point for the HBC into Canada . Many fur trade posts were constructed on the river , including Fort Edmonton ( 1795 ) and Rocky Mountain House , the uppermost post reached by canoe navigation . The river 's importance continued after the amalgamation of the Hudson 's Bay Company and the North West Company . The river was plied by a number of steamboats right up to WWI , although for everyday freight the growing web of railway lines in the western prairies eventually replaced them . The river was used commercially for many years - to carry flatboats of settlers goods and construction materials downstream from Edmonton , to float thousands of logs in the annual log drive downstream to Edmonton prior to WWI , as a source of ice blocks for home owners ' iceboxes . Recreation ( edit ) Edmonton 's North Saskatchewan River valley parks system is the largest system of urban parks in North America , and covers both sides of the river valley 's course through Edmonton . Fish species ( edit ) Fish species include : walleye , sauger , yellow perch , northern pike , goldeye , mooneye , lake sturgeon , mountain whitefish , burbot , longnose sucker , white sucker and shorthead redhorse . Flooding ( edit ) Like all rivers , the North Saskatchewan is subject to periodic flooding , beginning with rapid snowmelt in the mountains or prolonged periods of rain in the river basin . With the establishment of permanent communities along the river 's course , and the rise of an administrative / government structure , records exist recording floods in the North Saskatchewan for the past century . The Bighorn Dam , constructed in the early 1970s near Nordegg , Alberta , and the Brazeau Dam , constructed in the mid-1960s , have not reduced flooding potential on the North Saskatchewan River ( Alberta Environment 1981 ) 29 June 1915 cover of the Edmonton Daily Bulletin List of notable flood years This list is incomplete ; you can help by expanding it .

North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915 Main article : North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915 The 1915 flood of the North Saskatchewan River was one of the most dramatic in the history of Edmonton . On 28 June , the Edmonton Bulletin reported the river had risen `` 10 feet in as many hours . '' A frantic phone call from Rocky Mountain House alerted local authorities to the flood 's arrival . The Canadian Northern Railway had parked a number of train cars on the city 's Low Level Bridge to protect against the `` tons upon tons of debris '' that had been pushed up against its piers , including a house swept away by the current . Thousands of Edmonton residents watched the flood destroy lumber mills along the city 's river valley . The river peaked at a stage of 13.73 metres ( 45.0 ft ) , a rise of 11.5 metres ( 38 ft ) above low flow , with an estimated peak instantaneous discharge of 5,800 cubic metres per second ( 200,000 cu ft / s ) . However , based on high water marks and 1D modelling , the actual value may have been closer to 6,300 cubic metres per second ( 220,000 cu ft / s ) . The flood of 1986 The river peaked at a stage of 11.5 metres ( 38 ft ) with a peak instantaneous discharge of 4,520 cubic metres per second ( 160,000 cu ft / s ) . 2013 Alberta Flooding Along with many other rivers in central and southern Alberta during late June , the North Saskatchewan saw significantly higher water levels and flow rates . The river peaked at a stage of 9.03 m ( 29.6 ft ) with a peak instantaneous discharge of 2,710 cubic metres per second ( 96,000 cu ft / s ) on June 23rd in Edmonton . This is signicantly higher than the Bow River 's peak height at 4.1 metres ( 13 ft ) and peak discharge of 1,750 cubic metres per second ( 62,000 cu ft / s ) on June 21st , that caused widespread flooding in Calgary . However , due to the expansive North Saskatchewan River Valley and natural sanctuary / parkland that surrounds it , the City of Edmonton had only minor , isolated flooding , with virtually no major property damage as a result . Commercial navigation ( edit ) The North Saskatchewan River has always been a major trade route from Hudson Bay and central Canada across the Canadian Prairies to the Canadian Rockies . During the fur trade era , birch bark canoes and York boats travelled up and down the Saskatchewan delivering trade goods and amassing furs for transportation to Europe . The North Saskatchewan also witnessed a lively , although short - lived , era of steamboat shipping during the 1870s , 1880s , and 1890s . The Hudson 's Bay Company ( HBC ) purchased a number of steamboats from companies operating on the Red River and trading at Winnipeg / Fort Garry . The HBC desired to avoid paying the labour costs of fur trade brigades , and hoped steamboat shipping would provide a suitable alternative . Several HBC steamboats navigated the river intermittently for many years , although fluctuating water levels and natural barriers ( rapids and sandbars ) hampered efficient operation . With the arrival of the railroad in Western Canada , steamboat shipping on the North Saskatchewan tapered off , but steamboats operated in the Edmonton area until the economic crash of 1912 - 14 . Dams and hydroelectric development ( edit ) A number of dams have been planned and constructed on the North Saskatchewan River and its tributaries . No singular purpose has dominated dam planning in the basin , indeed , hydroelectric development , flood control , and water diversion schemes have all underpinned proposals to construct dams on the river . Planned dams The first hydroelectric development on the North Saskatchewan was planned in 1910 near the Town of Drayton Valley . Funding for the plan came from a British syndicate ; design and construction were to be carried out by the Edmonton Hydro - Electric Power Scheme . The development was shelved after the outbreak of World War I . The La Colle Falls hydroelectric project east of Prince Albert was a half - built failure . Construction began in the 1910s and was later abandoned . The city remained in debt from financing the project until 1960 , and the site still attracts tourists today . During the 1960s and 1970s , a major dam was planned on the North Saskatchewan near the Hamlet of Hairy Hill , Alberta , about 160 kilometres ( 100 mi ) downstream from Edmonton . This dam was part of a larger interbasin water diversion conceived by the Alberta Government to transfer water from the Peace , Smoky , and Athabasca rivers to the Saskatchewan River Basin . The planned dam had a maximum height of 65 metres ( 212 ft ) , with a crest length of 1.76 kilometres ( 5,760 ft ) , which would have created a reservoir capable of holding over 4.9 cubic kilometres ( 4,000,000 acre ⋅ ft ) of water . The reservoir would have affected municipal water works in the City of Fort Saskatchewan , was likely to inundate part of the Saddle Lake Indian Reserve , and would have flooded a number of oil and natural gas fields in the area . The plan was later shelved in light of economic and environmental concerns . Constructed dams The Bighorn Dam was constructed near Nordegg and created Abraham Lake , one of the largest reservoirs in Alberta . The dam was constructed in 1971 by TransAlta . The Bighorn Plant has a generating capacity of 120 megawatts ( MW ) , and has an available water supply that allows it to be the largest producer of hydroelectric electricity in Alberta , with an average of 408,000 megawatt hours ( MW. h ) each year . One of the North Saskatchewan 's major tributaries , the Brazeau River , houses the Brazeau Hydroelectric Plant . At 355 MW , the Brazeau Dam is Alberta 's largest hydroelectric facility , and was built in 1965 by TransAlta . Though having a higher peak generating capacity than the Bighorn Dam , the hydrology of the Brazeau means that its average annual electricity production is a slightly smaller 397,000 MW. h .

The monumental stairway of 135 steps ( the slightly elevated drainage system is often mistaken for the first step ) was built with French diplomat Étienne Gueffier 's bequeathed funds of 20,000 scudi , in 1723 -- 1725 , linking the Bourbon Spanish Embassy , and the Trinità dei Monti church that was under the patronage of the Bourbon kings of France , both located above -- to the Holy See in Palazzo Monaldeschi located below . The stairway was designed by architects Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Piazza di Spagna 3 Uses 4 In media 5 In literature 6 Local landmarks 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links History ( edit ) The piazza di Spagna in an 18th - century etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi , seen from south . The street on the left is Via del Babuino , leading to Piazza del Popolo . Following a competition in 1717 the steps were designed by the little - known Francesco de Sanctis , though Alessandro Specchi was long thought to have produced the winning entry . Generations of heated discussion over how the steep slope to the church on a shoulder of the Pincio should be urbanised preceded the final execution . Archival drawings from the 1580s show that Pope Gregory XIII was interested in constructing a stair to the recently completed façade of the French church . Gaspar van Wittel 's view of the wooded slope in 1683 , before the Scalinata was built , is conserved in the Galleria Nazionale , Rome . The Roman - educated Cardinal Mazarin took a personal interest in the project that had been stipulated in Gueffier 's will and entrusted it to his agent in Rome , whose plan included an equestrian monument of Louis XIV , an ambitious intrusion that created a furore in papal Rome . Mazarin died in 1661 , the pope in 1667 , and Gueffier 's will was successfully contested by a nephew who claimed half ; so the project lay dormant until Pope Clement XI Albani renewed interest in it . The Bourbon fleur - de-lys and Innocent XIII 's eagle and crown are carefully balanced in the sculptural details . The solution is a gigantic inflation of some conventions of terraced garden stairs . The Spanish Steps , which Joseph de Lalande and Charles de Brosses noted were already in poor condition , have been restored several times , most recently in 1995 . A new renovation commenced on May 30 , 2016 and the steps reopened on September 21 , 2016 . Piazza di Spagna ( edit ) In the Piazza di Spagna at the base is the Early Baroque fountain called Fontana della Barcaccia ( `` Fountain of the longboat '' ) , built in 1627 -- 29 and often credited to Pietro Bernini , father of a more famous son , Gian Lorenzo Bernini , who is recently said to have collaborated on the decoration . The elder Bernini had been the pope 's architect for the Acqua Vergine , since 1623 . According to a legend , Pope Urban VIII had the fountain installed after he had been impressed by a boat brought here by a flood of the Tiber river . In the piazza , at the corner on the right as one begins to climb the steps , is the house where English poet John Keats lived and died in 1821 ; it is now a museum dedicated to his memory , full of memorabilia of the English Romantic generation . On the same right side stands the 15th - century former cardinal Lorenzo Cybo de Mari 's palace , now Ferrari di Valbona , a building altered in 1936 to designs by Marcello Piacentini , the main city planner during Fascism , with modern terraces perfectly in harmony with the surrounding baroque context . Uses ( edit ) At the top , the stairway ramp up the Pincio which is the Pincian Hill . From the top of the steps the Villa Medici can be reached . During Christmas time a 19th - century criba manger is displayed on the first landing of the staircase . During Springtime , just before the anniversary of the foundation of Rome , April 21st , part of the steps are covered by pots of azaleas , up until early May . In modern times the Spanish Steps have included a small cut - flower market . The steps are not a place for eating lunch , being forbidden by Roman urban regulations , but they are usually crowded with people . In media ( edit ) The Spanish Steps : the cream - coloured building partially visible to the right is the apartment where John Keats lived , now the Keats - Shelley Memorial House . The 1953 film Roman Holiday , starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck , made the Spanish Steps famous to an American audience . The Trinità dei Monti church being renovated ( 2015 ) The apartment that was the setting for The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone ( 1961 ) is halfway up on the right . Bernardo Bertolucci 's Besieged ( 1998 ) is also set in a house next to the Steps . The Steps were featured prominently in the film version of The Talented Mr. Ripley starring Matt Damon in the title role . The progressive rock group Refugee recorded the song `` Credo '' in 1974 , which contains the lyric : `` I believe in constant pauses / Like a Roman holiday / And I often stop for air / As I climb the Spanish stairs '' . The Bob Dylan song `` When I Paint My Masterpiece , '' first recorded in 1971 by The Band and later appearing on the album Bob Dylan 's Greatest Hits Vol. II , mentions both the `` Spanish Stairs '' and the Colosseum . Norwegian singer / songwriter Morten Harket , from A-ha , released a song called `` Spanish Steps '' on his album Wild Seed in 1995 . Marc Cohn 's song `` Walk Through the World '' , released in 1993 on the album The Rainy Season , includes the lyric `` From the Spanish Steps to the Liberty Bell , I know the angels have seen us . '' The title song from Guy Clark 's Dublin Blues album ( 1995 ) contains the lyric : `` I loved you on the Spanish Steps / The day you said goodbye '' . North American & Japanese versions of the Mindfields album released in 1999 by American rock band Toto include the song `` Spanish Steps of Rome '' as a bonus track . The song describes a femme fatale romance that takes place on and around the Spanish Steps . In an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond which aired on October 2 , 2000 , Ray , Debra , Frank , and Marie climb the Spanish Steps during a family vacation in Rome . In 2005 , American rock band Of A Revolution released One Shot from their album Stories of a Stranger , which contains the lyrics `` Rome is burning , you can taste the embers / I am walking hard on Spanish Steps '' . In 2007 , John Tesh of Entertainment Tonight fame , recorded an instrumental tune called `` Spanish Steps '' on his A Passionate Life album . On 16 January 2008 , Italian artist Graziano Cecchini covered the Steps with hundreds of thousands of multicoloured plastic balls . He claimed that it was done to make the world notice the situation of the Karen people in Myanmar , and as a protest against the living conditions of artists in Italy . On 9 November 2009 , a multimedia event was held on the Steps to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 ; the event included the erection of replicas of parts of the wall . In the 2012 film To Rome with Love , Hayley ( Alison Pill ) and Michelangelo Santoli ( Flavio Parenti ) met on the Spanish Steps . The Spanish Steps are featured in a scene in the 2015 film The Man From U.N.C.L.E. In literature ( edit ) The Steps are featured in numerous scenes in Alfred Bester 's 1956 novel The Stars My Destination . The Steps are featured in F.

Question: where are the spanish steps located in italy


Pint glass - wikipedia Pint glass Jump to : navigation , search `` Conical '' pint glass A pint glass is a form of drinkware made to hold either a British ( `` imperial '' ) pint of 20 imperial fluid ounces ( 568 ml ) or an American pint of 16 US fluid ounces ( 473 ml ) . These glasses are typically used to serve beer , and also often for cider . Contents ( hide ) 1 Current shapes 2 History 2.1 Older styles 3 United Kingdom law 4 Other countries 5 Nucleated pint glasses 6 Collecting 7 Use as weapon 8 References 9 External links Current shapes ( edit ) `` Nonik '' pint glasses : full and a half pint The common shapes of pint glass are : Conical ( or sleevers ) glasses are shaped , as the name suggests , as an inverted truncated cone around 6 inches ( 15 cm ) tall and tapering by about 1 inch ( 25 mm ) in diameter over its height . Also called a `` shaker pint '' in the United States , as the glass can be used as one half of a Boston shaker . The most common size found in the US holds 16 oz to the rim . The nonik ( or nonic , pronounced `` no - nick '' ) a variation on the conical design , where the glass bulges out a couple of inches from the top ; this is partly for improved grip , partly to prevent the glasses from sticking together when stacked , and partly to give strength and stop the rim from becoming chipped or `` nicked '' . This design was invented by Hugo Pick , of Albert Pick & Co. , who was awarded two US patents : design patent 44,616 ( September 2 , 1913 ) and patent 1,107,700 ( August 18 , 1914 ) -- though the design patent was invalidated -- and which was commercialized as Nonik ( for `` no - nick '' ) . The design was preceded by many other bulged glass designs , dating to the mid-19th century , which differed in having a severe bulge and different purposes ( a stop for a jar cover , or placement in a soda glass holder ) , rather than the shallow bulge of this design . The original motivation for the glass was to reduce breakage when stacking ( 40 % greater crushing strength and curved surface where rim touches ) , reduce breakage when tipped over ( due to the bulge protecting the rim from impact ) , improve grip , and facilitate cleaning ( due to shallow curves , compared to more severe curves ) . In the United Kingdom , this style was popularized after World War II , with Ravenhead glass introducing a Nonik glass in 1948 . Jug glasses , or `` dimple mugs '' , are shaped more like a large mug with a handle . They are moulded with a grid pattern of thickened glass on the outside , somewhat resembling the segmentation of a Mills bomb . The dimples prevent the glass slipping out of the fingers in a washing - up bowl , and the design of the glass emphasises strength , helping to withstand frequent manual washing . These design features became less important when manual washing was superseded by machine washing from the 1960s onwards . Dimpled glasses are now rarer than the other types and are regarded as more traditional . This sort of glass is also known as a `` Handle '' or `` Jug '' due to the handle on the glass . Tulip is a more modern glass having a taller shape , usually flaring out towards the top ; these designs are more commonly associated with continental lagers or promotional campaigns by breweries , and are frequently etched or marked with the beer 's label . Can - shaped glasses are shaped like a standard beer or beverage can , with straight cylindrical sides and an inverted lip . They are less prone to tipping over than a conical glass , and without the need for a heavy base for stability , they are around 40 % lighter . History ( edit ) Pint glasses became popular in the United Kingdom in the early / mid-20th century , replacing tankards ( pewter , ceramic , and glass ) . This change is notably lamented by George Orwell in his 1946 essay `` The Moon Under Water '' . Older styles ( edit ) Older styles include : Decorative Toby jugs , although these would not have been for everyday use . Mid 1700s onwards . Pewter tankards . 1500s to 1900s Ceramic tankards with strap handles . Late 1800s to early 1900s . 10 - sided glass tankards . 1920s and 1930s . A wooden tankard found on board the 16th century carrack Mary Rose . Pewter tankard Glass tankard United Kingdom law ( edit ) A dimpled glass pint jug showing ' PINT TO LINE ' and Crown certification mark `` Tulip '' shaped glass , showing Crown stamp . In the United Kingdom , draught beer must be sold in Imperial measure ( see Pint § Effects of metrication ) . United Kingdom law requires certain steps be taken to ensure that a pint of beer is indeed a pint . Though this can be achieved using `` metered dispense '' ( calibrated pumps ) , the more common solution is to use certified one - pint glasses . Until recently these had a crown stamp indicating that the certification had been done by an agency of the Crown . The number etched upon the glasses stands for the manufacturing company or site . Most pint glasses used in the United Kingdom today have actually been produced in France . Under the EU Measuring Instruments Directive ( Directive 2004 / 22 / EC ) , the certification of measuring instruments and devices used in trade ( including beer mugs , weighbridges , petrol pumps and the like ) can be done by third parties anywhere within the EU with governments taking `` only the legislative and enforcement ( market surveillance ) functions '' and `` ensuring that the system of third party assessment ... has sufficient technical competence and independence '' ( or , in simple language , calibration services were privatised ) . Glasses that have been certified by authorised firms anywhere within the EU have the letters CE etched on with the certifying agency 's identification number . Conservatives campaigning to have dual markings of crown and CE were informed by EU Commissioner Günter Verheugen that `` a Crown stamp look - alike could naturally be affixed to the glass , as long as it is done in such a way that it is not confused with the CE marking '' . Selling beer in unmeasured glasses without using some other form of calibrated measure is illegal . Half - pint , one - third pint and two - thirds pint ( schooners ) glasses are also available , and are subject to the same laws . Although the glass must be accurately - calibrated , industry guidelines only require a pint to be at least 95 % liquid , allowing 5 % of the pint to consist of the foamy ' head ' . The Campaign for Real Ale ( CAMRA ) has described this practice as selling a short measure , and says that it costs drinkers £ 1m a day in beer they have paid for but not received . The British Beer and Pub Association has issued guidelines for bar staff to give a ' top up ' to any drinker who is unsatisfied with the measure they receive . CAMRA recommends the use of `` lined '' or `` oversized '' glasses in pubs . These have a line near the top ( usually labelled `` pint to line '' ) to which the beer should be poured , with the head forming above it . In the past a number of breweries supplied these glasses to their pubs ; this is now rarely the case and lined glasses are found mostly at enthusiasts ' events such as beer festivals , serious cask ale pubs , and breweries ' own bars . Other countries ( edit ) Pint glass with PINT / CE logo Beer in Australia is formally measured in metric units , but draught beer is commonly ordered and sold in glasses approximating imperial measures , including a 570 ml pint . ( In the state of South Australia , `` pint '' refers to a 425 ml ( 3⁄4 pint ) glass , known as a schooner in the rest of Australia . ) As in the UK , certified glassware must be used ; the capacity of the beer glass is defined by either the brim or , where present , the capacity line . There are no legally prescribed sizes for beer volumes , but the stated capacities , which are a legal requirement , must be formally tested by the hotelliers and breweries . In Canada , Federal law mandates a standard imperial pint . However , this law is rarely enforced , and establishments typically sell US pints or other measures as `` pints . '' The Republic of Ireland uses the imperial 20 fl oz pint measure ( ≈ 568 ml ) , where legal metrology marks are used to show that a glass has passed inspection by the National Standards Authority of Ireland , a state - run body which enforces a number of standard rulings . Starting in 2006 , the NSAI `` pint '' mark , a circle featuring two wavy lines , between which `` PINT '' is written , with a year mark ( last two digits ) , and a three digit batch code either side ; has begun to be phased out with a European standard `` PINT '' / CE logo stamp . Smaller Pint glasses have been used in pubs and nightclubs though . In Israel , although officially defined as 568ml , pubs use the term rather arbitrarily and the `` pints '' served constitute a wide range of volumes ( 360ml -- 440ml ) . In the past , the custom was to serve beer in 330ml or 500ml in the original beer manufacture 's glass . After the reform in the alcohol taxes in July 2012 the tax rate doubled . Each liter of beer is charged with 4.2 nis tax . In order to avoid raising prices at the pubs , and as a result , the loss of customers , a new `` magic '' appeared , called `` pint '' . The customers do n't really know the vague term of a pint , and it varies from place to place . Some of the places did n't even change the menu , and it 's served as 500 ml . In the United States , a pint is 16 US fluid ounces ( 473 mL ) . However , the typical conical `` pint '' glass holds 16 oz. to its rim . With a half inch of foam , the actual liquid fill is roughly 14 oz . Recently ( as of 2008 ) , some restaurants have replaced 16 - ounce pint glasses ( 473 mL ) with 14 ouncers ( 415 mL ) to which customers have objected . In response to this , legislation has been introduced in the state of Michigan ( known for its craft brewing culture ) to require bars to serve 16 - ounce pints . Nucleated pint glasses ( edit ) Nucleated base of a pint glass . It is increasingly common to find pint glasses which contain markings on the base ; very often these glasses are branded to one particular beer . The markings themselves are formed from small pits which aid in nucleation , allowing the gas within it to be released more easily , thus preserving the head . Without the aid of these pits a regular pint glass will keep a head for only 3 or 4 minutes before appearing ' flat ' . The markings come in a variety of styles ranging from a simple circular or square hatched pattern to more complicated branding messages . Collecting ( edit ) Two silk - screen printed glasses from the 2010 Cambridge Beer Festival Pint glass collecting is an increasingly popular way for individuals to commemorate their visits to popular tourist destinations , most notably to microbreweries or sports arenas . These destinations often sell pint glasses adorned with their logos , which are either screen - printed or engraved on the side of the glass . Brewery enthusiasts may travel thousands of miles to see where their favorite beer is made or to sample new local and fresh beers , and collectors often display their collections ( which sometimes total in the hundreds ) in display cases or on shelves . Beer festivals frequently have commemorative pint glasses made specially for the event . Use as weapon ( edit ) Main article : Glassing As with other glass objects such as glass bottles , pint glasses can be used as a weapon , either smashing an intact glass in a victim 's face or smashing the glass and then slashing with the shards . Such attacks , called `` glassing '' , are a significant problem in the United Kingdom , with more than 87,000 glassing attacks per year , resulting in over 5,000 injuries . This has led to less - dangerous alternatives being used , either plastic glasses and bottles at large events or violence - prone venues , or treated glass , primarily tempered glass , which has been used in Australia .
