Set of 10 Ruby Red Glass Handled Cups, Mid-Century Modern

Set of 10 ruby red glass handled cups with clean, rounded bodies, applied loop handles, and solid pedestal bases. The glass is a deep cranberry-to-ruby tone with excellent saturation and clarity, reading darker at the base and handle junctions—classic mid-century table glass coloration. Each cup shows pressed construction, evidenced by a visible mold seam running discreetly along the back of the handle and around the base. This is consistent with quality factory production rather than hand-blown studio glass. The forms are balanced and slightly weighted, designed for everyday use but with strong visual presence when displayed as a full service. Attribution & origin (best-supported assessment) Unmarked examples like this are most commonly associated with American and European mid-century pressed glass production, circa 1950s–1970s. The color, handle profile, and pedestal foot are particularly consistent with mid-century American tableware produced during the postwar boom, when ruby and cranberry glass were widely manufactured for domestic coffee and tea services. While makers such as Anchor Hocking, Libbey, and related continental factories produced similar forms, no definitive maker attribution can be made without a factory mark. The set is therefore listed unattributed, priced on form, color, and condition. Condition Excellent vintage condition throughout. • No chips, cracks, or scratches observed • No clouding or interior staining • Handles are secure on all mugs • Color is consistent across the set These present as a well-preserved, complete service. Measurements (each mug) • Height: 2 3/8 in • Mouth diameter: 3 1/8 in • Base diameter: 1 3/4 in • Width including handle: 4 in Total set weight: 2.742 lb Style & use Perfect for coffee, tea, or display in a bar or cabinet setting. The saturated ruby glass reads beautifully against light interiors and pairs especially well with mid-century modern, Hollywood Regency, or curated vintage tableware collections. ⸻ STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many vintage and antique glass objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than a guaranteed maker identification. ⸻ ruby glass mugs cranberry glass mid century glass vintage coffee mugs pressed glass mugs red glass cups mid century tableware american glassware retro coffee cups set of mugs vintage drinkware hollywood regency modernist glass barware glass collectible glass vintage kitchen estate glassware ruby red glass midcentury decor curated vintage
