This exceptional service for three tumblers commands attention through a vibrant, saturated green hue and a distinct sculptural presence. The glass exhibits a remarkable internal luminosity and a subtle, integral surface texture that captures and refracts light with organic complexity. Designed with a clean, tapering silhouette, these vessels transcend utility to serve as compelling decorative objects that anchor a sophisticated table service or shelving display.
Attribution & Period
Regional North American example, 1930s. The material composition is consistent with Depression-era uranium glass production, confirmed by a characteristic fluorescence under ultraviolet light. The manufacturing markers, specifically the rough-snapped pontil scars on the bases, align with early 20th-century artisanal glass-making techniques rather than mass-produced mid-century molds. The combination of the minimalist form and the specific chemical composition of the glass suggests a transition between late Art Deco and early American Modernism.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 4 1/4 in
Width / Diameter: 2 3/4 in (Mouth)
Depth / Base Diameter: 2 in
Weight: 0.486 lbs each (Approx. 1.46 lbs total set)
Condition
Direct and well-preserved. No chips or cracks observed. The surfaces exhibit light, age-appropriate secondary scratches consistent with careful handling over several decades. The integral "grease-like" texture is a characteristic manufacturing inclusion within the glass body itself, not a surface residue. Bases show authentic wear and rough-finished circular pontil marks.
Authenticity & Construction
These tumblers are hand-blown or semi-automatic press-molded, evidenced by the significant weight and the presence of a symmetrical, rough-pontil mark on the underside of each piece. This "snap-off" point indicates the vessel was held by a punty rod during the finishing of the rim, a hallmark of traditional glasswork that adds unique character to each piece. The inclusion of uranium oxide in the melt provides the glass its specific depth of color and notable reactive properties.
Placement
Ideal for a curated bar cart, a sun-drenched breakfast room, or as sculptural accents within a minimalist glass cabinet. They pair exceptionally well with monochromatic stone surfaces or dark wood interiors where their vibrant color can pop.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE;This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
