Vintage set of 5 vintage Roly Poly gold rimmed drinking glasses from the 1960s. They hold about 4 oz and are approx. 2 1/2" high. The top opening is about 2 1/8" in diameter. The gold rims are thin, about 1/8" thick giving them a classy look. These would be a great rocks set or juice set.
They are in nice vintage condition. On some of these little rocks or juice glasses, the gold is in nice shape and on some there is a little wear visible - see photos for detail.
Different retro set of mad men cocktail Roly poly glasses.
Unmarked and similar in style to the barware seen on Mad Men, though they have gold rims instead of silver. So someone from the mid century wanted to be different!
