DescriptionThis beer glass has a clear body and handle with a metal and porcelain lid. The glass body is cylindrical with the glass being raised at intervals in the outside and creating flat edges. There is also a glass handle on the outside of the cup and is attached about 1 inch from the top and 1 inch from the bottom of the body. Attached to the top of the handle is a metal device that acts as a lever to open up the lid when being held. The lid covers the top of the glass and is a silver metal color, with a circle on top made of white porcelain. On the porcelain is the name "White Elephant" in cursive blue script. Around the text are two thin blue lines that run in a circle parallel to each other.
