These look like glasses given away in Duz laundry detergent and similar promotions in the 1950s and 1960s. I would have a dealer look at it if I were you.

I believe this is Recollection Blue by Indiana Glass ...the glasses/pattern is often described as a tall flat tumbler with light blue diamond pattern. Also sometimes called pint glasses.

There are some for sale on Etsy. Check prices. Etsy is often over priced.

Following on from my post to locate the name and style and how to sell these glasses. I can't add pictures to my original post. I have the full set of champagne glasses, wine glasses, cherry glasses, etc. but I have no clue what they are called or worth.

Thank you, please help. I had in-depth conversation with John Lewis, who without a product code could not help any further. I bought them from John Lewis in June 1991. Any info would be amazing, thank you.

I purchased a set of 6 glasses many years ago at a garage sale. I've researched the archer, I believe this is the makers logo, however I've come up with nothing so I may be incorrect about that. I'm curious who the maker is? When they were made? I'm also very curious if these would be considered an "Industrial Age" design? What type of barware are they? High-ball glasses? A decorative black and gold glass.

 

Thank you in advance, I appreciate any help with my mysterious barware set.

These are so groovy!! Definitely a mid-century modern design. The type is footed rocks glass. At one time there might have been a pitcher with the set, but this is really cool - and worth some significant coin.

I was trying to figure out the theme of the graphics...do you think it might be telegraph or radio parts?

Federal brand, pint glasses, usually sell in the $3-$14 each range. There are a lot on the market which drives prices down. Fewer up drives prices up.

Super fun find!!!

I haven't found very many singles or sets in the 5 oz. size but there are a lot of other sizes listed for sale. Glasses are not fast sellers but there have been a few sold on eBay over the past several months.

Judging from the sold prices I would say your set would probably be valued in the $35-$45 range but many items like this can remain listed for months/years before they sell - or if they sell. Of course, the holidays are near so yours might sell faster.

You can look on eBay and Etsy for similar glasses to see asking prices but only a 'sold' item represents current value as this shows what someone was willing to pay for that item.
Here is a link to eBay's sold listings so you can see for yourself what glasses are selling for.
Remember when looking at listings that many sellers do not know this pattern is called 'windowpane' so that name may not be in their listings.

If you decide to sell your set I would recommend you try sites like Facebook Marketplace, IOffer, LetGo, OfferUp or any other sites you're familiar with.

You will need several good pictures and a good description of your set.
Start your price higher and list with best offer considered and if no offers you can lower your price.

These are the PASABAHCE Optic Block pattern. They consistently sell in the $3-$6 dollar a piece range. They are very fragile so unless you are a very experienced eBay seller and comfortable with the process to double box fragile items, you would be best sell them in a local venue. Thanks for sharing and for the extra photos.

I think everyone has been both correct but also incorrect about this question and the names of the glasses.
I made a mistake originally as I read the original question incorrectly and read the 5" glasses as 5 oz but then questions and answers became even more confusing.

As it stands I'm not really sure about the size of the glasses as here are the comments about the glasses:

I have a set of 8 Pasabahce 5" tall windowpane glasses
8 Pasabahce glasses 5" tall and hold 8 oz .
I think mine are 5 oz and I haven't found those.

However, the actual name was confusing so I asked a Pasabahce representative and this is what he sent me:
" These vintage Pasabahce glasses are in the Scotch pattern. The geometric windowpane Block Optic design has texture on the inside of the glass, the outside is smooth. Beautiful reflective quality and glass feels pleasant in your hand."
Does this Block Optic design describe your glasses?

He also said he has seen them called many names but the design is 'Block Optic", the name is 'Scotch", other names describe the glasses:

Windowpane Optic Block
Artisan Square
Clear, Vertical & Horizontal Lines

After reading this I found that Replacements has a few of these glasses and they also have the name listed as 'Scotch'.
So maybe when listings glasses you could place all of the names in the description and maybe have it all covered.

Here's wishing you great success with your sales and also a pleasant, safe Thanksgiving.

I bought a set of 8 of these glasses. They are quite heavy and are five and 1/2" tall. There is a silver rim at the top.

I'm trying to figure out if they may be vintage? And, if so, I wonder how old they might be!

They look to be from the 1950s or 1060s. From what I have seen on eBay, they are worth less than $25 for the set.
