Polka Dot Glasses Appraisal

Mid-Century Modern Gold Band and Polka Dot Rocks Glasses

This is a pair of vintage lowball or 'rocks' style drinking glasses, likely dating from the mid-20th century (1950s-1960s). Each glass features a clear cylindrical body with a weighted base. The decorative scheme consists of horizontal gold-toned metallic bands near the rim—specifically one thick band and three thinner lines underneath. Below the banding, the glasses are adorned with a repeating pattern of small, uniformly spaced polka dots. One glass features dots in a chartreuse or olive green shade, while the other features dots in a muted pink or mauve color. The application of the pattern appears to be silk-screened enamel. In terms of condition, there is visible fading and wear to the gold finish near the top rims, which is common in vintage glassware especially if cleaned in modern dishwashers. The glass remains transparent with no major chips or cracks visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship is indicative of mass-produced Mid-Century decorative barware intended for home entertainment. There are no visible maker's marks, though the style is reminiscent of manufacturers like Hazel-Atlas or Federal Glass.
