From
one of the leading makers of high quality, vintage glassware ... Federal
Glass Co. ... founded by George & Robert J Beatty; began production in
1900 ... 1940s and 1950s were producing full lines of kitchenware. Federal
Glass closed in 1979-80 - many of their molds went to Indiana Glass Co.
Offered
here is a Vintage Federal Glass Co, Opal-White Milk-Glass, Closed D-Handle,
Stackable MUG - with Disney's Donald Duck fired-on Graphics - in most-excellent barely-used condition.
Probably manufactured in the 1960’s.
ALL
glass surfaces are HIGHLY-glossy, shiny, and clean. There are NO obvious chips, cracks nor flea-bites; NO significant
scratches, hazing, stains, nor rubs - there is a tiny mark in the glass which
could be a mold-mark. The glass has great translucence - nice weight
& feel.
This MUG has a closed D-Handle, subtle
pedestal base which allows for stacking, and graphics fired
on to one side.
The fired-on Graphics Pattern is BRIGHT, Bold,
Crisp and CLEAR - depicting Walt Disney Production's Donald Duck. The
graphics are highly-glossy, shiny and clean, NO FADE, no obvious issues - with
minimal contact marks. The colours used to create the image are BLUE,
BLACK and YELLOW. The graphics are coloured-in or left open for the
opal-white milk-glass colour to fill the space - body, hands, head, eyes.
The graphics image depicts Donald Duck standing on his
two webbed feet; body turned one way, head peering towards the opposite
direction; dressed in his sailor's suit - bowed-jacket, ribboned-hat. Beneath
the cartoon image is text - "Donald Duck" beneath which
is - ""circled C" Walt Disney Productions".
This Mug
is embossed on the bottom - "Stylized Shield surrounding
"F"" LOGO; U.S.A; 49".
This Mug
measures - ~3 1/8" in diameter, across the top edge; 4 1/8" across
the top edge to the back of the handle; 3 1/4" in height; the bottom
seat-rim is 2 3/4" in diameter.
