Frosted Glass Mug with Embossed Floral Design

This item is a clear glass mug, distinguished by its frosted finish on the exterior surface. It features an embossed floral design that appears to depict blooming flowers and foliage, possibly roses or similar detailed blossoms, covering a significant portion of its body. The mug has a classic cup shape with a sturdy, C-shaped handle made from clear, unfrosted glass, allowing for a firm grip. The frosted texture gives the glass a translucent, milky appearance, while the raised floral patterns are slightly more transparent, creating a subtle contrast. Inside the mug, there are three distinct, raised glass elements that resemble elongated, possibly decorative, internal projections, though their specific function is unclear from the image alone. These internal elements appear to be formed as part of the glass molding process. The bottom of the mug is clear and flat, providing stability. Based on its appearance, especially the frosted finish and embossed design, this mug likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, possibly as part of a vintage glassware collection. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or significant damage visible in the provided image; however, the surface shows some smudging or very light residue, which suggests typical use and handling. The craftsmanship appears to be industrial standard, typical of mass-produced glassware, with a focus on decorative visual appeal rather than intricate hand-finishing. The combination of frosted and clear elements with the embossed pattern indicates a decorative as well as functional intent for this piece.
