Painted Goblets
« on: January 17, 2012, 01:11:24 pm »
I have theses three strange goblets. I'm not sure what they are made of they kind of have a plastic feel to them. They are painted blue and white with a horse and carraige scene on the bottoms. Where some of the blue paint has chipped off it looks like an ugly brown translucent plastic? maybe bakelite? I didn't take pictures of the inside but it is not smooth. It has these four things that I guess are for reinforcement since they seem to brace the side to the bottom of the cup.

 I think I remember seeing some documentary on PBS as a kid and part of it was about how some maker ended up with such an ugly colored product the only way to save his bussiness was to paint everything.

    The goblets appear to be Indiana Teardrop Pattern, never seen this color before.
