6 Clear Optic Tumblers

25-Character Title 6 Clear Optic Tumblers (23) Alternates: 6 Swirl Glass Tumblers (22) Set of 6 Cooler Glasses (23) 6 Tall Optic Glasses (20) HiBid DESCRIPTION SET OF SIX CLEAR OPTIC SWIRL GLASS TUMBLERS - TALL COOLER OR ICED TEA SIZE Six matching tall clear glass tumblers in a soft optic swirl pattern, the kind of everyday drinkware that shows up in almost every mid-century kitchen cabinet and still works perfectly on a table today. Each glass is a straight-sided cooler or iced tea form, slightly wider at the rim than at the base, with a plain smooth rim and a heavy pressed bottom. The optic pattern is molded into the glass rather than cut, running as vertical rippled panels or twisted swirls up the body, and it catches light nicely without being busy. No maker mark, label, or backstamp is visible on any of the six glasses, so no maker is claimed. Glasses stand approximately 6-1/4 to 6-1/2 inches tall with a rim of roughly 3 inches, putting them in the iced tea, water, or highball range. They are practical, they match, and six of a kind is the number most buyers want. Bidders should read the condition notes, since glasses of this age normally carry utensil marks and dishwasher haze that photographs do not show. Sold as a lot of six tumblers. Description Six clear pressed glass tumblers, all appearing to be the same pattern, form, and size. Tall cooler or iced tea form, straight-sided with a very slight flare toward the rim, tapering gently to a narrower base, with a plain smooth rim and no foot. Optic swirl decoration molded into the wall of each glass, appearing as soft vertical ripples or twisted panels that read most clearly where light passes through, with the upper portion nearly plain and the pattern strongest through the lower two-thirds. Heavy pressed base with a thick glass bottom and a molded interior ring visible in the interior photographs. Colorless clear glass throughout with no color band, frosting, printing, or applied decoration of any kind. No maker mark, molded logo, etched signature, or paper label is visible in any photograph, including the base and interior views, so no manufacturer, pattern name, or age is claimed. Stand approximately 6-1/4 to 6-1/2 inches tall per the tape-measure photograph, in which the tape is stood on the table beside the glass rather than fixed to it, so the height is a close estimate. Rim diameter is approximately 3 inches per the second tape-measure photograph, in which the tape rests across the top of the glass rather than hooked on it, so that figure is also a close estimate. Capacity was not measured; based on the height and rim these are in the range typically sold as iced tea or cooler glasses. Bidders should verify all dimensions from the photographs. Attribution note Optic or swirl-molded clear tumblers of this type were produced in enormous quantity by American glass houses for the everyday drinkware market from roughly the 1950s onward, and the same general form continued in production for decades, so shape alone does not date a set. Most such glasses were sold unmarked or with only a foil or paper label, which is normally gone long before the glass reaches an estate. Because no mark or label is present here, no manufacturer, pattern name, production date, or country of origin is claimed or guaranteed, and the glasses are not represented as any named pattern or collectible line. Whether the six are from one original set or were assembled over time cannot be determined from photographs, though they appear consistent with each other. All identification here is read from these photographs and is offered as the consignor's photo-based opinion and is not guaranteed. Bid on the item(s) as pictured. Condition Used clear glass tumblers in good usable condition, sold as-is. All six stand straight and look clear and bright in the photographs with no obvious cracks, chips, or cloudiness visible at the resolution shown. Rims were not run under a finger for chips, flakes, or nicks, and no glass was tapped or held to strong light for hairlines or stress cracks, so bidders should assume small rim and base flaws are possible. Expect fine utensil scratching, ring wear on the bases, and some degree of dishwasher haze or interior water filming, none of which photographs reliably on clear glass. Faint mold seams, small bubbles, and slight variation in glass thickness are normal in pressed glass of this type and are not treated as damage. The glasses were photographed as found and were not washed, polished, or measured for capacity. Photos are part of the description. Notes for bidders Hand wash in warm water with mild dish soap and dry with a soft towel, since repeated dishwasher cycles etch and permanently cloud older clear glass. Do not pour boiling liquid into these and do not take them from a hot dishwasher straight to ice, as thermal shock cracks thin-walled pressed glass. Do not use abrasive pads on the interior.
