[perfection]

As a lecturer currently writing course packs in bar and beverage i have a few contrdictions on the topic of bar glassware - classic and modern
Please indiate the question number in your answer and the country from where you are - it seriously helps in understanding cultural nomenclature differences. If possible please provide capacity and reference source
Question 1
Can glass stemware and footed glassware together be termed goblets ?
Question 2
Is an elgiin glass the same (identical) in shape to a pousse cafe glass?
If not, is the elgin essentially a glass popular in the UK only
Question 3
What is the capacity of a pousse cafe glass?
http://www.cocktaild...wr_detail?id=66 says 1.5 oz
while
http://www.drinklab....e.php?ID=Pousse cafe glass say 6 oz
quite a differnce although shape is quite quite similar
Question 4
Is a cordial (liqueur) glass stemmed or unstemmed and can they also be termed shot glasses? (the latter doesn't sound quite right though)
What exactly is a pony glass?
Is it a liqueur (cordial) glasss of 1 oz capacity (or not necessarily 1oz)
PS. I have also heard of pony shot glasses and pony beer tumblers (australian?) of 140 ml capacity
Question 5
What is a delmonico glass and is it also called a (whisky) sour glass? Is the nomenclature delmonico essentially American in usage? Again is it stemmed or unstemmed?
http://www.drinklab.....php?ID=Whiskey sour glass (copy this link until the word 'glass')
AND
http://www.cocktaild...rwr_detail?id=9
seem contradictory in shape but agree on the 5oz capacity
Question 6
What is a (london) dock glass?
http://www.cocktaild...wr_detail?id=65 (a six ounce hot toddy glass that looks like those that they serve Irish coffee in
AND
http://www.kingcocktail.com/glass.htm (says A port or sauternes glass that will fill the bill for dessert wines as well as for fine spirits "neat" (without ice), and some special cocktails like the straight up sours and in his book which i have it shows a handless glass)
How come such a big conceptual difference?
