not really. I prefer the 16 oz. mainly because they work best for magic 
tricks. I like to have 4-5 behind the bar.

Depends on what you use it for.we have a 7oz martini glass so I can make two 
side cars or cosmos,or margarita's at a time with plenty of room,in the 16 oz
I have an 8oz shaker with top and built in strainer I use for traveling

> What does it mean?

there's a pint glass/tumbler that fits in the shaker,inverted it acts as lid
for shaking,this system is know as a boston shaker.we have 6oz rocks glasses 
at work that use for a top in the 16 oz shaker

 Or it's just a photo but the shaker is "full"? I 
> know shaker's glasses are used for flairing too.

the metal part of the are easy to jungle,if theres room behind you 
bar.flipping and catching an empty shaker followed by a long pour is an easly 
mastered flair move.You can practice this away from the bar and you don't 
spill any liquor tossing around empty shakers.
