Mid-Century Culver Style 'Coin' Highball Glass

This is a vintage highball tumbler crafted from clear pressed glass, featuring a mid-century modern aesthetic characterized by metallic overlays. The glass is decorated with a wide black matte band circled by two silver-toned pinstripes with repeating polka dots. Within the black band are silver-toned medallions depicting historical coinage, specifically a profile of Liberty dated 1838 and a 'Republica' coin. Above the band, the glass features a gold-tone Great Seal of the United States surrounded by a pattern of gold dots. The craftsmanship is indicative of companies like Culver Ltd. or Libbey, which specialized in 22k gold and silver leaf application during the 1960s. Physically, the piece stands approximately 5.5 inches tall with a standard cylindrical form. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible wear to the gold leaf on the Great Seal, showing significant thinning and loss of detail. The silver and black bands seem better preserved but show minor surface scratching consistent with age and domestic use. There are no immediate signs of chips or cracks in the glass body. The style is classic barware from the mid-20th century, highly collectible for its 'Mad Men' era appeal and numismatic-themed motifs.
