Description: I had to really search for evidence of manufacturing year for these beauties. I saw lots of listing saying they were mid-century or art deco. The style looks art deco KIND OF but also felt more 1970's or 1980's to me. I never assign an origin story or date to an item until I see one in a box or in a catalog. Luckily I was able to find a listing on Worthpoint showing these swanky lovelies in a box of 1973 Canadian Club whiskey. Sooo..NOT MCM. But I love the early 1970's style as well though I wish it had a cool name like MCM or Art Deco (known as Jazz Moderne at the time.) ANYWAY, these lowball tumblers measure 4 1/4" tall by 3 1/4" in diameter at the top. Minor signs of use but nothing eye catching or blatant. Sometimes on these types of barware items, you can see wear on the gold where fingers had held the glass but I don't see anything like that on these. No gold rim, which is great because that is what shows wear the fastest. I carefully examined photos of the new ones in the box on Worthpoint to verify there never was a gold rim. These would look great with a Baltimore, though possibly the gold accents would show up better with a gin and tonic. Not sure--certainly a puzzle to be worked on by some lucky person! Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE How I Assess Vintage Pieces Please note that my written descriptions are not AI-generated! These are written by a human physically looking at the actual piece. My listings are more than just a one line list of the dimensions. I strive to identify all flaws—even minor ones—in the listing, with both photos and descriptions. This means you know what you are getting from me. Vintage items typically have light signs of usage: utensil marks, diminished shine to the glaze, scratches on the design, chips, crazing, and cracks. The situations mentioned above are exactly what I examine each item for, under a bright light and with glasses on, as I am listing it. I don’t use the word “excellent” unless there is no crazing, no cracks, no chips, zero utensil marks, and no muting of colors or glaze sheen…so I rarely use the word “excellent” for a vintage item.

At any given moment I have 100+ items not listed yet! I focus on mid-century modern plate sets, serving pieces, barware, glassware, stemware, vases, and art. You can find me under AstridWaxwing09 on various platforms. I love reuniting orphan glassware with its pattern family! Franciscan, Noritake, Lenox, Stangl, Salem, California potteries, Dorothy Thorpe, Culver, Cambridge, McCoy, Hazel Atlas, Fire King, Anchor Hocking, Pyrex, and Corning Ware/Corelle are some of the brands I seek out and educate myself about. I’m drawn to kitchenware because kitchen is the heart of the home. The ritual of choosing a plate pattern when getting married is one of the first choices an engaged couple makes together. This is when they decide what image of “successful adulthood” they want to portray to their friends and family. Often the bride had more control over these choices—but so much less control about most everything else. Women are still fighting for control over their lives, bodies, education, and destiny. It may seem odd to look backwards at dishes and bowls from the 1920’s-1970’s to be inspired about women’s rights but I am aware on a daily basis that any opportunity or privilege I have today was made possible by women who came before me—intelligent women like my mother who may have not been legally able to have her own checking account or attend certain universities, but still took action to shape a better future.
