• Windsor glasses - (also known as tea glasses or round granny glasses) are a type of eyeglasses characterised by circular or nearly circular eyerims and a thin metal frame. The style emerged in the 19th century and first became popular in the 1880s. Traditionally the bridge of Windsor glasses is a "saddle" (a simple, arched piece of metal joining the two eyerims), and hence to prevent the glasses slipping off the face the temples are "riding bow temples" (a strongly arched wire that hooks around the ears); however, in a modern and extended definition, Windsors typically have a bridge with nose pads and gently curved temples. Notable people associated with Windsor glasses include John Lennon (and thus the glasses are sometimes referred to as "John Lennon glasses"), who first wore them on the set of How I Won The War in September 1966. One of his Windsor glasses were auctioned at $56,800 in 2020. Other notable people include Mahatma Gandhi, as well as the fictional character Harry Potter. Groucho Marx and Theodore Roosevelt also sometimes wore Windsor glasses, although they better remembered for their horn-rimmed Groucho glasses and rimless pince nez, respectively.
