Description
Stunning vintage teal or aqua green glass tumbler featuring a classic all-over hobnail texture. This mid-century piece provides a great grip and a pop of retro color for any tablescape. Approximately 4-5 inches tall, suitable for water or iced tea.
Key Features
Highly tactile hobnail texture, desirable teal/aqua colorway, Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, thick and durable construction.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: Medium. Lack of a maker's mark suggests a mass-market mid-century producer; genuine Fenton pieces usually feature a more distinct pontil scar or logo (if later).
Flaws to Note
Minor shelf wear on the bottom base. Potential 'straw marks' or bubbles from the original manufacturing process which are typical for glass of this era.
