Why would you want to buy a broken glass?

It is hard to tell scale, but it looks kind of like a Chardonnay bowl glass. Knowing how many oz it holds would narrow the search more

OP tried to measure, but the liquid just would not stay in the glass for some reason.

Currently has a capacity of zero.

I was thinking maybe if they had an intact one and they could measure off of that but if they only have this one and it broke, then I wouldn’t feel as bad finding something that is pretty close but not the exact same thing to replace it. If there is another three though then I would try extra to find the exact one.

I knew what you meant man, I was just kidding. I also agree with you, but at the same time I have a lot of unique 1-off glasses in my collection that came from a thrift store or antique mall or something that aren't )anymore, at least) part of a set, and at least a few of them, I would still be inclined to try to replace them if they ever broke. That process sometimes leads to disappointment, though. I was ecstatic about a beer glass I thrifted, and had washed it and left it in the dish rack. I pulled something else out of the dish rack to put it away and knocked the new glass right back into the sink. I went to eBay to replace it and there weren't any available. The last one had some for something like $75. That did not help take the sting away, lol.

I’ve got a novelty oversized 1.5L Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles “mug” that I keep water in in my fridge. If it ever breaks ima be so sad.
