A magical set of Atomic glasses by Gay Fad, Mid Century. This stunning pattern features stark gold and black sea fish with a larger black and Turquoise fish on one side and a larger black and vibrant orange fish on the other side. The pattern is quite intricate and detailed and it was tough to capture all of the detailing, that includes miniature gold fish, miniature black fish, gold sea plants/seaweed, etc. You won't run across this pattern again. If you love Mid Century glassware, this set is for you.
This set includes 4 glasses. We have another set of 4 listed separately, if you'd like a larger set. Please see other listings.
