The 1970s had a particular idea of what a good evening looked like and it involved smoked glass, copper hardware, and a hot drink in hand.
This pair of vintage hot toddy glasses carries both the Folgers and Tia Maria branding, a natural pairing for the era when Irish coffee and coffee liqueur cocktails were at their cultural peak. Tia Maria, the Jamaican coffee liqueur, and Folgers, the American coffee institution, together on a pair of glasses designed specifically for the kind of warm, spirited drink that belongs in front of a fire on a winter evening.
The glasses are smoked brown - that characteristic 1970s tint that photographs warmly and glows even better with something hot inside them. The copper handles are the detail that elevates them from ordinary barware into something worth keeping.
Very good vintage condition with minor wear to the copper and glass consistent with age and a life well used. A pair that has been cared for.
For the vintage barware collector, the lover of 1970s entertaining culture, or anyone setting a bar cart that deserves a little history on it.
