Vintage 'Goodbye, My Lover, Goodbye' Musical Theme Glass Tumbler

This item is a clear glass tumbler featuring a decorative wrap-around design of musical notation and lyrics from the song 'Goodbye, My Lover, Goodbye'. The lyrics and musical staff are printed in a distinctive orange or rust color, providing a vibrant contrast against the clear glass. The text at the top reads "GOODBYE, MY LOVER, GOODBYE" followed by sheet music with lyrics like "The ship is sailing down the bay" and continuing lines. The tumbler appears to be a standard size for drinking glasses, likely between 10-14 fluid ounces capacity. Its construction is simple, a cylindrical glass shape with a slightly thicker base, common for everyday glassware. The printing method appears to be a screen-printing or decal application, as the color is uniformly opaque. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear on the glass itself. The printed design, while generally intact, shows some minor inconsistencies in color application in certain areas, particularly noticeable in the lighter orange hues, suggesting a vintage manufacturing process. The style points to mid-20th century Americana, possibly 1950s-1970s, when novelty or themed drinking glasses were popular collectibles, often associated with promotional items or souvenir sets. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided image. The quality of the glass is adequate for a utility item, while the artistic and historical appeal lies in its decorative theme and estimated age.
