Vintage 1970s Floral Highball Glass

This item is a tall, cylindrical highball or 'Tom Collins' style drinking glass, characteristic of mid-century modern and early 1970s kitchenware. The glass features a bold, wrap-around screen-printed floral pattern in a quintessentially 1970s color palette of mustard yellow, vibrant orange-red, and olive green. The design consists of large, overlapping hibiscus or poppy-like blossoms with contrasting centers. The substrate is clear soda-lime glass with a weighted bottom for stability. Measuring approximately 6 inches in height, the vessel exhibits a smooth rim and a seamless finish indicative of mass-production by companies like Libbey, Brockway, or Federal Glass. Regarding condition, there is visible fading and texture loss on the applied color decals (ACD), particularly on the green and red pigments which show a matte, slightly grainy patina from age and repeated washing. No structural cracks or chips are immediately apparent on the rim or base. There are no clear maker's marks visible in the image, but the graphic style and color scheme firmly place the manufacture date between 1968 and 1975, likely as part of a larger 'Swanky Swig' or promotional glassware set.
