Dutch term

doorloper

Dutch to English Art/Literary Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) glass
Drinking glasses: baluster glasses, Berkemeier glasses, beer glasses, cocktail and liqueur glasses, champagne glasses, cognac glasses, dice shakers, [? Doorloper? *],

I do not have the context in Dutch, but it is an article on glass as a material, in excellent English except for some problematical specialist terms... which I have for proof reading.

Anyone interested in glass - ?I have several more!!

Thanks for any sugestions

FYI, straight from the NL-En dico, a doorloper is a Frisian safety speed-skate (ice skate) or a \"Mephisto puzzel\". (?)

Tall glass or a Chimney

I suspect this may be your answer. I've been a bartender in the states and in NL but I've never heard of a doorloper.
The logic with tall glasses is that it lasts longer. The first webstite may be interesting the rest are from google searching for 'glass glossary' or variations with: bar, drinking etc.
Good luck
