A lovely and rare set of 4 Mid Century "Oil Derrick" glasses. These collins glasses features a deep black "Oil Derrick" pattern with gold rims on the top and a thicker gold band on the bases. Heavier in weight, these glasses have a solid feel to them. The pictures don't do them justice.
Maker: Lotus -- many (including us in the past) attribute this pattern to Culver. It was actually made by a company called Lotus in the 1960s. Culver did, however, make an opaque black pattern that included gold Oil Rigs. But this pattern in the listing was made by Lotus. Similar to Culver in that they used real 22k gold in their pattern.
Hallmarks: None. Lotus included a gold foil sticker on one glass that was typically removed upon purchase.
Measurements: A tad over 5 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" diameter
Condition: Excellent condition. The glass clarity is perfect (no cloudiness) and the gold/black is vibrant. The gold on the rims is in tact and vibrant. No chips of any kind. Please note: one glass has what appears to be a "scratch" on the bottom of the glass. We are unsure if it's an actual scratch or occurred during manufacturing (Mid Century glassware often has "waves" or "wrinkles" etc that occurred during the time of creation. Purely the nature of Mid Century glassware. It was impossible to capture in a photo). In short, this set is in great condition and displays beautifully. Truly a gorgeous set.
**On shipping: We take our packaging very seriously and carefully wrap all pieces well to ensure safe delivery. Please note: we are not making a penny on shipping. We pack our items securely to ensure safe arrival (especially our glassware, which means a larger, heavier box)! If you buy multiple pieces/sets, we will combine shipping if possible (glassware sets typically ship in their own box to ensure safe arrival) and will reimburse you for any shipping overages.
