Curator’s Notes

A restrained 25cl tulip glass manufactured in 2013. The gently swelling bowl narrows towards the rim without the pronounced flare found on some tulips, while a short, simple stem leads into an equally conventional foot. Decoration is confined to the front: the black La Ramée script sits beneath a small coloured emblem incorporating what appears to be an ear of grain. It is an understated design, particularly by Belgian abbey-beer standards.

The name has rather more history behind it than the glass suggests. La Ramée takes its name from the former Cistercian abbey at Jauchelette, founded in the early thirteenth century. Historical records of the abbey complex include a brewery among its working buildings — a useful reminder that the agricultural imagery associated with abbey beers is not always simply modern marketing.
