Transport yourself back to the nostalgic era of the 1950s with this beautiful set of 8 Fran Taylor Gay Fad Angel Christmas glasses. These glasses were hand-painted with intricate angel designs by the talented artists of Gay Fad Studios, who were known for creating unique and whimsical designs on glassware during the mid-20th century.
Fran Taylor founded the Gay Fad Studios in 1938 and became popular for its hand-painted glassware, which was highly sought after during the post-World War II era. The company produced glassware until 1945 when it stopped production to support the war effort. In 1946, Fran Taylor reopened the company and continued to produce hand-painted glassware until the early 1960s when it was sold to Lancaster Glass Company. The glasses in this set were produced by Federal Glass, a glassware company that was founded in 1900 in Columbus, Ohio. The company was well-known for producing high-quality glassware, and its partnership with Gay Fad Studios resulted in some of the most iconic designs of the mid-20th century.
Each glass in this set stands approximately 5 inches tall and has a diameter of 2.5 inches, making them a perfect size for serving eggnog, mulled wine, or any other holiday drink. The exquisite angel designs on each glass were painted in delicate strokes with gold accents, which add a touch of elegance to any Christmas table setting.
These glasses are in vintage used condition and have wear and fading to the paint. One glass has a black spot on the bottom that might be removable, and a few other glasses have imperfections. Please view all photos for a more detailed description.
Owning this rare set of Fran Taylor Gay Fad Angel Christmas glasses is not just owning a piece of glassware, but it's owning a piece of history and a symbol of the festive season of the past.
