A flip glass bucket was a specialized container used during the 18th and early 19th centuries for making and serving a beverage called "flip". Flip was a warm drink made with rum and beer, sugar, egg, and spices. The mixture was heated by using a hot iron poker placed in the glass bucket, causing the beverage to froth or flip.
