Aqua Colored Glass Appraisal

Aqua-Tinted Glass Tumbler

This item is a squat, cylindrical drinking glass, likely intended as a rocks glass or an old-fashioned glass due to its broad, low profile. It is constructed from a clear glass material that exhibits a subtle aqua or light blue tint, particularly noticeable in the thicker sections at the base and rim. The upper body of the glass is relatively thin and features a smooth, unadorned surface. The defining characteristic is its heavily textured and layered base. This base appears to be molded with several horizontal ridges or rings, creating a tactile and visually interesting effect. The very bottom of the glass also shows irregular, organic textures, suggesting it might be made from recycled glass or designed to mimic a rustic, hand-blown aesthetic. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps evident in the provided images. The overall visible condition appears good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant scuffs, although typical minor wear consistent with use (e.g., faint surface scratches or watermarks) cannot be entirely ruled out without closer inspection. The slight blue hue and textured base suggest a contemporary or possibly mid-20th century 'recycled glass' aesthetic, aiming for a casual yet stylish look. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, possibly mass-produced, indicated by the uniformity of the ridges and general form, though the 'organic' texture at the very base adds a touch of individuality.
