Vintage glass tumblers measure 5 1/2" tall with top diameter of 2 3/4", and have thick deep bottoms characteristic of the 50's. Water depicted on glass is a light green colored enameling. Fish and other sea urchins depicted on glass are applied gold. Top rim of each glass is trimmed in gold. Glass tumblers look like they were used very little, if at all. All the enameling looks good. Some areas of the applied gold have pin prick spots of oxidation, attributed to the age of the glass tumblers. I had a difficult time photographing the glasses The reflection of light caused a variation of color in the applied gold. The applied gold color on the glass tumblers has an even color distribution, there is no dark colored variation as my photos make it appear.
