This complete six-glass set with its original wire carrier is exactly that moment, intact. The tumblers are frosted in soft mid-century pastels with intricately screen-printed 22-karat gold leaf branches across the surface — real gold, fired on, which is why it has the warmth and depth that modern printed glassware can't replicate. The atomic wire caddy lets you carry all six from kitchen to patio in one hand, just as the original hostess intended, and the white rubber feet are all present to protect whatever surface you set it down on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSets like this — all six glasses, original caddy, feet intact — are increasingly hard to find complete. The tumblers were prone to breakage over sixty years of use, and the caddies were often discarded when the glasses didn't survive. This one made it through. A natural on a bar cart, a mid-century credenza, or a kitchen shelf where it will actually get used. If you'd like to expand beyond six, individual glasses from the same pattern are available separately — \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/whats-new\"\u003econtact us\u003c\/a\u003e to enquire about adding to your set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crown Crystal Glass Company, Waterloo, Sydney, Australia (or Australian-distributed equivalent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Frosted pastel bands with 22-karat gold leaf branch detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1950s–1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Six tumblers with original atomic wire caddy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlass height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlass opening diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaddy height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaddy length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,055g (including caddy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition. All six tumblers have completely clean glass — no chips, flea bites, hairline cracks, or cloudy water staining. A few glasses show honest fading and light rubbing to the thin gold trim lines around the upper pouring rim from historical washing — a common characteristic of fired-on gold gilding on mid-century barware, and expected at this age. The frosted pastel bands and gold leaf branch decoration are otherwise intact and vivid. The wire caddy is structurally sound and firm with all four original white rubber feet present. The metal framework shows classic vintage surface patina and light corrosion from age — this can be left as-is for an authentic look or gently polished with fine steel wool if preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe photographs form part of the condition report — please review all images carefully before purchasing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash only in warm water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
