A lovely and rare set of 4 Mid Century "Oil Derrick" glasses. These old-fashioned glasses feature a vibrant gold pattern of Oil Derricks against clear glass and have gold rims. These glasses are solid/well-crafted and have a heavier feel to them and also have a "dimpled" texture on the bottom exterior. The pictures don't do them justice. Truly a lovely set of glasses.
And we have another set of 4 of this size and pattern, if you're interested in a larger set! See other listings.
Hallmarks / Era: None, Mid Century
Measurements: Approx 4 1/4" tall x 3" diameter
Condition: Very good vintage condition with very mild wear. The glass clarity is perfect (no cloudiness) and the gold is extremely vibrant. The gold on the rims shows mild wear/gold loss. No chips of any kind. Please note: one glass has a tiny bump of extra glass on the rim (very common with Mid Century glassware, it's smooth and very subtle). In short, this set is in very good vintage condition with mild signs of wear/very minor gold loss on some portions of the gold rims.
*General note on vintage glassware: Mid Century glassware often has imperfections (i.e. tiny bubbles in the glass, or a "seam" from when the glass was being created, an extra spot of gold or enamel that made it on a clear part of the glass, etc -- purely the nature of vintage glassware).
**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.
****Important to note pre-purchase: Buyers, please examine all photos carefully as we cannot accept returns due to the fragile nature (the possibility of breakage or damage when being shipped back) of our vintage/antique pieces. Our items are true vintage pieces that might have manufacturers flaws, flaws from age, or imperfections in general from being vintage. We try to explain the condition/description in an accurate and thorough manner but we ask that you please examine all photos carefully and ask all questions before purchasing an item as we are unable to accept returns due to the risk of breakage/damage.
