Vintage Stagecoach Motif Glass Tumbler

This item is a clear glass tumbler, likely a drinking glass or a small serving bowl, featuring a black printed graphic of a stagecoach or horse-drawn carriage. The glass itself appears to be of standard weight and clarity, exhibiting a slight yellowish tint that could indicate age or glass composition. Its physical characteristics include a rounded, possibly flared top rim, and a thicker, flat base for stability. The shape appears to be cylindrical or slightly tapered outwards from the bottom. The most notable feature is the black, stylized illustration of a stagecoach, complete with spoked wheels, seating area (featuring three distinct rectangular sections, possibly windows or seats), and what appears to be a driver's perch. The illustration is somewhat abstract and has a vintage aesthetic, possibly from the mid-20th century. There are no visible manufacturing marks or signatures discernable from the image. The condition seems good overall, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant scuffing, though some faint surface scratches or remnants of dust are visible on the exterior, consistent with normal use or storage. The black graphic appears to be largely intact with no significant fading or flaking. The craftsmanship is typical for mass-produced glassware of its era, featuring a printed design rather than an etched or hand-painted one. The style period is likely mid-century modern (1950s-1970s), given the graphic design and general appearance of such utility glassware. This type of motif was popular for barware sets or general kitchen glasses, often reflecting themes of Americana or nostalgia.
