Painted Drinking Glasses Appraisal

Vintage Hand-Painted Floral Footed Drinking Glasses (Set of 3)

This set consists of three vintage drinking glasses, likely tumblers or small dessert glasses, featuring a distinctive footed design. Each glass is made of clear glass, allowing the hand-painted floral decoration to stand out. The primary motif on each glass includes several vibrant red poppy-like flowers, complete with green stems and leaves, interspersed with what appears to be yellow wheat stalks or similar golden flora, and possibly small white accent flowers. The painting has a slightly whimsical or folk-art quality to it. The glasses have a fluted or paneled body that tapers downwards into a short, green-tinted foot or base. This green color on the base is uniform across all three and gives a subtle contrast to the clear upper portion. The lip of each glass appears smooth and untrimmed. Given the context of being stored for 40 years and belonging to the user's grandmother, who was born in 1936, these glasses likely date from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s to 1970s. The hand-painted nature suggests home decor or giftware rather than mass-produced fine china. No immediate visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the paintwork are apparent from the image, indicating good to excellent condition for their age. The craftsmanship appears to be of a reasonable quality for utilitarian or decorative glassware of that period, with the hand-painting adding a unique artisanal touch. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided image.
