Smurfs Glass Appraisal

Vintage Smurfs Drinking Glass

This is a vintage clear glass tumbler featuring colorful graphics of popular Smurf characters. The glass is cylindrical with a slightly thicker base, indicating its design for stability. The main graphic depicts a scene with multiple Smurfs engaged in various activities, typical of the animated series. One Smurf is prominent, possibly Papa Smurf, wearing a red cap, while other blue-skinned Smurfs in white hats are also visible. The color palette includes vibrant blues, yellows, reds, and greens, maintaining a cheerful and playful aesthetic. The graphics appear to be screen-printed onto the exterior of the glass. While the exact size is not provided, the glass appears to be a standard juice or small beverage glass, comfortably held in an adult hand as shown in the image. Although specific manufacturing details are not fully discernible from the provided images, the 'SMURF' logo is clearly visible in blue lettering at the bottom of the graphic, indicating licensing and authenticity. Small text is also present below the main illustration, but it is too blurry to read accurately, which might contain copyright or manufacturing information. The overall condition appears good with the colors still vibrant, suggesting minimal fading or dishwashing wear. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant abrasions on the glass itself. The style period is distinctly from the era when The Smurfs were highly popular, likely pointing to the 1980s. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced promotional glassware of that period.
