Know before you buy
No, these vintage glasses are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the 1960s-era tennis motif and the designer signature, we recommend hand washing them gently.
Each lowball glass holds 8 ounces when filled to the brim. This makes them perfectly sized for a classic cocktail, a small pour of spirits, or a standard serving of juice.
As authentic 1960s collectibles, these glasses may show minor signs of age or light surface wear. We inspect each set to ensure they remain in good display and functional condition, but they will not appear brand new.
The sets are distinguished by the intensity of the yellow ink used for the tennis motif. The pale yellow offers a softer, more muted vintage aesthetic, while the bright yellow provides a more vibrant, high-contrast look.
Yes, these glasses are available as an original box set of four. If you prefer a smaller collection, they are also sold in sets of two.
