  Pint glass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pint glass is a drinking vessel holding a British pint (568ml; ≈1.2 US pints) of liquid and is usually used for beer.
More often than not, the glass bulges out a couple of inches from the top; this is partly for improved grip, and partly to prevent the glasses from sticking together when stacked.
In the past a number of breweries supplied these glasses to their pubs; this is now rarely the case (Banks's are a partial exception) and lined glasses are found mostly at enthusiasts' events such as beer festivals, serious cask ale pubs, and breweries' own bars.

 Halfbakery: More-than-a-pint Glass
GenYus: Glasses are generally only franked with the pint symbol; this is not an indication of how far up the glass a pint is, and i can say that when visiting England, i have never seen glasses marked to the half-pint or pint, except for the lip of the glass.
I seem to remember that in Austria and Germany the normal thing is to have beer glasses which are much bigger than a pint with the pint marking on them due to their preference for having enormous heads on their beer.
echoing iivix oversized pint glasses have been used but it is deeply entrenched in the pub goers mind that a pint glass must be full to be getting a fair measure that and the marks engraved on the glasses seem to wear off after a few goes in a glass washer.
