Help to authenticate glassware for 1912 England

[Carol O]

Just volunteered to be the "props manager" on a local production of "An Inspector Calls" (English farce circa 1912). Props list calls for glasses for port, sherry and whiskey. What would those glasses look like? Where can I get information (pictures, etc.)? What liquid mixtures would I use to substitute for the actors having to drink the port and the sherry?

Here's a site that deals with glassware from the 18th through the 20th century with photos. Victorian glassware would have been very popular still in the early 20th. century. My grandfather was a china buyer for Hutzlers Dept. store here in Baltimore during that period and we have many examples of glassware he purchased abroad between 1890's and 1930's.
