Culver Christmas Bear Whisky Glass Teddy 22K Gold Drinking Lowball Barware VTG

Single Culver oversized rocks glasses in their “Christmas Bear” pattern, sometimes also known as Yule Bear. These are lowball rocks whisky glasses, great for your favorite beverages at the holidays or anytime. Would be so cute with milk when you leave Santa his cookies! These feature a teddy bear & gifts in gold, red, green & white with gold, red & green stripes around the glass top & bottom border. The design is done in 22K gold which is very reflective and difficult to photograph. The signature font on these glasses means they are from the late 70s/early 1980s. Known for their quality barware, Culver was in business from 1939 – 1996 in Brooklyn NY and created elegant cocktail glasses sold only in high end department stores of the era. They developed a super-heated, roll-on process of applying the gold which remains a secret today. Size: 4″h x 3.25″w, holds 12 oz Condition*: Very good, the gold & colors are brilliant. There may be a few small marks in the frosted portion and you can see the seam in the frosting on the back side (part of how it was made) but the signature is not worn at all & that is the first thing to wear off with use so this was lightly used. Keats said "A thing of beauty is a joy forever". Each of us has a different idea of what "beauty" is. I find unique vintage items and offer them to you, the beholder. Have you found your thing of beauty?
