Here is a very rare prohibition whiskey shot glass. Small glass is handmade with very thin glass. Vertically ribbed with fine etching of a pig drinking a martini.
This glass is in great condition for its age. I speculate that this was created at prohibition or just after in 1934. The glass is 2-1/2 inches tall x 2 inches in diameter.
The pig might refer to the Blind Pig that was named for the speakeasies in the 1920's - 30's, as well as the nickname they called police that took a blind eye to the serving of alcohol.
On another note:
For decades, pigs have been used in science experiments and good trials because their organs, muscles and metabolisms closely resemble those of humans. In 1977, the Associated Press reported on a group of pigs, used in alcoholism experiments, that developed a quart-a-day vodka habit, preferring screwdrivers – orange juice and distilled grain alcohol – over water or cola mixers. A few generations ago, says Dewey, farmers would feed beer to a nervous sow to calm her down before giving birth, and to prevent her from killing her young.

VERY RARE PIECE OF AMERICAN BARWARE HISTORY!!
