Vintage Christmas Glass from the 40s 50s 60s
Posted on November 13, 2008 | Filed Under 40s 50s 60s Glass
I was going to update the Swanky Swigs sellers on eBay for October 2008 - the sale prices and items sold were so unremarkable, I decided to pass this time. However, while I was looking around on eBay, I started browsing for vintage Christmas glassware and found a delightful selection in the 40s 50s 60s category. There have been and currently are lots of adorable Christmas items from Fire King Snoopy Mug (these are a little pricey) to down right cheap glasses, dishes, punch bowls. Here are some of the current items - or see them all on eBay.
