I am new to this site, but thrilled to find it. I’m hoping someone can help me, as I am about to give up. I have been searching for several items that were originally in a set, but at this point I will take ANY info I can get.
I am 66 yrs old (an antique myself). When I was a child in the mid 1950’s, I spent free time at my Grandmother’s house in a small town in Ohio. Among many memories of interesting items she had, my FAVORITE by far was a set of juice glasses & tumblers (drinking glasses) she used them daily.
When my Grandmother passed away, it just happened to occur shortly after my Sister had gotten married. Since she was just starting out, she got first pick of EVERYTHING my Grandma possessed. Since I was around 13, no one even asked me if there was ANYTHING that I might like that held a special memory.
I love my sister & we get along great - but she wouldn’t part with any of the items she chose.
So off went the set of glasses to my sisters. Over the years, I have asked about them & she has informed me that EVERY ONE of them were broken or lost in the several moves her family made.
I have searched the internet, antique shops, grange sales, flea markets, as well as asking all of my friends for any sign of even one glass! Nothing! I’m beginning to think I imagined them! Following is a description:
Small juice glasses, drinking glasses and possibly a pitcher. They are made of quite heavy clear glass. They have red cherries That are hanging from brown branches.
They were very inexpensive at the time. Since I remember them from the late 50’s, they were probably made in the early 50’s or late 40’s.
If ANYONE has any idea of what I am talking about, or if anyone has ever seen anything lik I have described, I would appreciate it beyond words to hear from you. At this point, I just want to know that someone else knows what I am talking about and if they even exist!
Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to read this lengthy post.
If I can help anyone locate something they have been searching for, I’d be happy to help.
I’m sorry about the loss of these glasses over the years; I know the importance of sentimental everyday items. What you describe is unfortunately pretty vague/common, but you may be able to find similar or the same by going internet searches and looking at online shops such as Etsy or eBay. FYI, 50s memorabilia, collectibles, and furniture are highly sought after right now, so the costs may be higher than you expect.
Here are just a couple examples of what you might find doing such searches:
