Gammerstang commented on the word Venice glass
(noun) - The drinking glasses of the Middle Ages, made at Venice, were said to break into shivers if poison were put into them. Venice glass, from its excellency, became a synonym for perfection. --Ebenezer Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, 1898
