This is a lovely vintage lemonade or bar set.
It dates to the 1950s and is certainly very stylish and "pop art" in style.
The set is consists of one large jug - which you would keep lemonade in to serve on hot summer days... remember them! or for a more festive celebration for mixing more exotic cocktails in and sharing with friends.. if you can!
The jug comes with three glass beakers (for display when not in use there are four, but one has a tiny rim graze which would not be suitable for you to drink from, but looks good on your cocktail cabinet or kitchen shelf.
The jug and remaining three glasses are in excellent vintage condition and rare survivors given that they are now about 70 years old.
The jug has a clear body and the bottom section is a textured frosted lime green coloured glass - there is a shiny gold gilt decorative band above the green section - around the rim and down the back of the handle. The clear body section has its original hand-painted polka dot decorations - like tutti frutti confetti. This is a hand-blown piece of glass and there is a polished pontil mark on the base - where the jug has been removed from the glass blower's rod.
The jug measures 7 1/4 inches in height. The diameter at the top is roughly 5 inches. The diameter of the base is 3 3/4 inches.
The three tumblers follow the design of jug.
Each glass is 4 inches in height; 2 3/4 inches at the top and 2 1/4 inches at the foot.
The price of the set breaks down as follows: £8 (x3) for the glasses = £24 and £30 for the gorgeous large jug (which you can also use as a vase). So that is £54 total for the set.
The set would have to be posted to you with Royal Mail standard size medium parcel - due to size and weight. This will be charged at £6.95 - any overpayment on postage will be refunded to you.
I have photographed and charged for 3 tumblers - but will pop in the one with the rim chips.. you can keep your cocktail stirrers in it - when serving drinks.
