For your consideration, a dainty Vaseline carnival glass eye wash cup in the raised rib style.  This delicate style is slightly smaller than the John Bull style and it was handmade in the USA and marked with an R on the bottom.  It is highlighted with  carnival iridescence providing a rainbow of colors. 

This beauty measures 2-1/4 inches tall by 1-5/8 inches wide, is new and is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.  It will appeal to a Vaseline glass or eye cup collector, will make a unique gift, or use as intended.

Eye cups were originally used to cleanse the eyes after a dusty ride on a dirt road.

Handmade glass:  Small bubbles and variations are an inherent part of true handmade glass and should not be regarded as flawed.  Unlike automated glassware, each piece is indeed one of a kind and will only appreciate in value in years to come.
