DESCRIPTION
This listing is for a Guardian Service Ware Hostess Beverage Set - MINT IN BOX.
This set was manufactured exclusively for Guardian Service Ware by Queen's Lusterware Ltd., Brooklyn, N.Y. The manufacturer's reference for this item is 494/SH, and the set is sometimes referred to as the "Iced Tea Set."
This unused set consists of four (4) beverage glasses, a handled carrier, and four (4) silver-toned coasters in the original box. All pieces are undamaged and very shiny. There are no chips, cracks or wear to the glass or silver-tone design. Each glass is 5⅝" tall and 2¾" in diameter across the top. The coasters are 3¾" in diameter and 1⅝" tall. The handled carrier stands 7½" tall and conveniently holds all of the beverage glasses and coasters. The carrier is also in perfect shape and condition - exhibiting no rust or bending. The original box is sturdy and in excellent overall condition, with all flaps completely intact. There is minimal writing on one side of the box and clear packaging tape residue on the top and two (2) of the sides. Also included is the original cardboard packaging material that was wrapped around each glass.
This set would be very presentable as a gift - and will be packed very well to insure that it arrives safely at your door. Of course, shipping insurance is required. And... if you wish to purchase more than one item from us, please wait for an invoice prior to paying as we will combine shipping to save you money (we like to shop online, too!)
A note of interest...
I am selling vintage kitchen items from several estates - of which, several pieces are Guardian Service cookware. These pieces all date from World War II (and just before) and most often are found in not too pretty of a condition - but please note that when our Guardian Service cookware is presented for sale it is in very clean condition - we've done all the hard work for you. All you need to do is unpack it, wash in warm, sudsy water and rinse to remove any shipping dust prior to use - then enjoy!
Please note that this cookware may have some wobble and/or pitting and there may be small chips/slivers or "flea bites" in the glass lids, all of which are normal for the age of the pieces and do not affect its use... but overall, the Guardian Service Ware listed by Bid It Adieu is always very nice (damage to lids, even if slight, will be mentioned). Please visit my store to see all of the Guardian Service Ware pieces that are currently listed.
