A lovely set of 4 "Bacchanal" patterned glasses by Gay Fad, Mid Century. This magical pattern features a design of stylized Atomic symbols in a vibrant gold and black against a stark white background. We've attached the original magazine ad (see last photo). Please note, this is purely for reference and does not come with the 4 glasses. Cheers!
A quick summary about this glassware maker: Gay Fad Studios was founded by Fran Taylor in Detroit, Michigan in 1939 before she relocated the business to Lancaster in 1945. The studio painted glassware by hand, with various designs. It remained in operation until 1963 when it was sold to Santa Claus Inc., an Iowa company.
Maker/Era/Pattern: Gay Fad / Mid Century / Bacchanal
Measurements: 5 1/4" tall x 2 3/4" in diameter
Hallmarks: These glasses bare the Federal Glass Hallmark (it was not uncommon for various glassware makes such as Culver and Gay Fad to use "blank" glasses that were made by other makers and apply their patterns).
Condition: Very, very good vintage condition. These glasses have been in a cabinet for decades and not experienced in actual use. Beyond very mild, general age, these glasses are in great shape. In short, these glasses are in very good vintage condition and display beautifully.
**On shipping: We take our packaging very seriously and carefully wrap all pieces to ensure safe delivery. We pack our glassware well, which means a larger, heavier box.
