Vintage 1992 McDonald's Embossed Glass Drinking Cup

This item is a clear glass drinking cup, likely made from molded soda-lime glass, with a classic 'hourglass' or pilsner-style silhouette. Its physical characteristics include a wider mouth that tapers inward towards the base, before flaring slightly again at the foot. The glass appears to be of standard thickness for a promotional drinking vessel, suggesting a common manufacturing process. The primary color is transparent, clear glass. The most notable features are the embossed designs on its exterior: the prominent 'Golden Arches' McDonald's logo is clearly visible, with the word 'McDonald's' embossed directly beneath it. Near the bottom rim of the cup, the year '1992' is also deeply embossed, confirming its manufacturing date and promotional context. No visible cracks or significant chips are apparent, though the surface shows a light film of dust or residue, indicating it may have been stored and is not in pristine, freshly cleaned condition. There are no obvious visible repairs. The clarity of the embossed details suggests a good quality mold was used for its production. This style of glass was commonly offered as a promotional item or part of a set by McDonald's, often linked to movie releases or special events. Its age is precisely dated to 1992 due to the embossed year. The overall craftsmanship is typical for mass-produced promotional glassware, prioritizing durability and clear branding.
