"The pair without rim/a rim/ the rim is mine."

There are several glasses on the table.

"The pair without rim/a rim/ the rim is mine."

Should there be any aritcle before 'rim'?

Thank you

Gosh. I was thinking of what you drink water from. Embarassing.

I've always called them frameless glasses. Is this a UK/US difference?

I should have said 'there are several pairs of glasses on the table' instead. Emotion: stick out tongue

frameless/rimless are both UK/AmE, IMO

I guess it's not a problem when context is clear. Don't sweat it.

Sometimes you spell 'embarrassing' correctly, sometimes wrongly. Remember that the word has two r's and 2 s's.

 Sorry for bringing it back, could you please explain me what the reason for not using an article is?
If it's he glasses' plurality, then what about "The one (ball pen) without a cap is mine"?
