Senses
bicchiere is used for these senses in English:
- beaker A flat-bottomed, straight-sided, glass vessel, with a lip and often a small spout, used as a laboratory container.
- glass (usually, uncountable) An amorphous solid, often transparent substance, usually made by melting silica sand with various additives (for most purposes, a mixture of soda, potash and lime is added).
- glass (countable) A vessel from which one drinks, especially one made of glass, plastic, or similar translucent or semi-translucent material.
