They were often used in speakeasies as a way to quickly dispose of drinks in case of a raid. While sherbet glasses existed before and after this period, their association with the "cocktail culture" of the 1920s and early 30s is particularly strong. They were also popular in the 1950s, often used for serving ice cream, fruit, or other desserts.
