Vintage mid-century glassware set featuring a large ice-lip pitcher and matching drinking glasses. The set is decorated with horizontal painted stripes in bright primary and secondary colors: yellow, blue, orange, and green. Perfect for retro summer entertaining or as a colorful display piece.
Key Features
Mid-century modern aesthetic, vibrant primary color palette, complete matching set (pitcher plus multiple tumblers), highly desirable retro kitchen decor style.
Authenticity Indicators
Typical mid-century glassware weight, mold seams visible on the pitcher handle and body, consistent with 1950s-1960s mass-market American glassware manufacturers like Anchor Hocking or Hazel Atlas. Confidence: Medium.
Flaws to Note
Fading and minor scratching/loss of the painted enamel stripes due to age and potential past dishwasher use. No apparent structural cracks or chips on the rims, but close inspection is recommended.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy, eBay, or local Facebook Marketplace/Antique Booths due to high shipping costs for fragile glass sets.
Selling Tips
Pack exceptionally well with bubble wrap and double boxing to prevent breakage during shipping. Highlight the retro mid-century look in tags and titles. Sell as a complete set rather than separating to maximize profit.
