Vintage Stained Glass Style Beer Pedestal Glass Triptych

This is a collection of three vintage 1970s era pedestal beer glasses featuring a faux-stained glass aesthetic. The set includes three distinct brandings: Falstaff Beer, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and Miller High Life. Each glass is constructed of clear, heavy press-molded glass with an integral thick pedestal base. The decorative wrap is applied using a screen-printing process or decal method that mimics leaded glass windows, utilizing black outlines to simulate lead came and vibrant translucent fills in primary and secondary colors like cobalt blue, ruby red, amber yellow, and moss green. The Falstaff glass has a shield-like motif, the Pabst glass features the iconic ribbon seal, and the Miller glass showcases its classic cursive script. These pieces typically stand between 6 to 7 inches tall. The condition appears fair to good with some visible wear to the applied graphics, particularly along the bottom edges of the 'stained glass' panels. There is no evidence of major chipping or cracking in the glass itself, though light scuffing from use is present. This style was highly popular in the late 1970s for home bar use and represents a kitsch, Americana advertising aesthetic from that period.
