The set is crafted in a rich, deep cobalt blue pressed glass with a vertical ribbed (optic) pattern that catches the light beautifully.

Highly desirable cobalt blue color; complete 7-piece set (rare to find all matching); mid-century modern aesthetic; ribbed texture provides excellent grip; timeless collectible appeal.
Authenticity Indicators
Color depth and glass weight are consistent with mid-century production. Lack of mold marks or seams suggests better quality pressed glass. Confidence Level: High (Vintage Authentic).
Flaws to Note
Minor shelf wear on the bottom of the pitcher and glasses; small flea bites or 'straw marks' (manufacturing lines common in vintage glass) may be present upon close inspection; needs thorough cleaning to remove surface grime.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage decor enthusiasts), eBay (widest reach for glass collectors), or a local antique booth. Facebook Marketplace is an option but usually commands lower prices than collector-specific sites.
Selling Tips
Use the keywords 'Cobalt Blue', 'Depression Style', 'Ribbed Glass', and 'Mid-Century'. Take photos against a white background with natural light behind the glass to show off the translucency and color. Pack extremely carefully with double-boxing and plenty of bubble wrap to avoid shipping damage.
