Reproductions:

None

Notes:

Florence's 7th edition of Collectible Glassware of the 40s/50s/60s shows this pattern under the name Gothic. Gothic is a line of 5 and 6-sided stems and tumblers by Hazel-Atlas. Finding glass in a factory box does not guarantee that the information on the box relates to the glassware inside, especially when there are no photos or drawings of the glass on the box.

The sherbet and footed tumbler are extremely common, having been sold full of peanut butter for a number of years. Cups, Saucers, and Plates were sold together in sets of four, probably as a sendaway premium item. The footed juice probably also contained peanut butter, but it is very scarce. The footed tumbler is the only piece found in milk glass.
