Mid-Century Etched Grape & Vine Tom Collins Glasses | Set of 3 | Emerald Green Base | Vintage Barware

A good cocktail deserves a good glass. These three mid-century Tom Collins glasses make that case quietly and completely — the slim cylindrical silhouette, the delicate wheel-etched grapevine climbing the body, the deep emerald green base that catches light and throws it back warm and green across a bar cart or shelf. They are the kind of glasses that make a gin and tonic feel like an event.

Made in the 1950s–1960s, these glasses represent the high point of American mid-century barware design: functional forms executed with genuine craft, when etching was done by hand and colored glass bases were a mark of quality rather than novelty. The wheel-etched grape cluster, tendrils, and leafy vine motif encircles the clear upper body with the kind of fine detail that catches light differently at every angle. The heavy weighted emerald green base grounds each glass with satisfying heft and a rich jewel-tone color that deepens as the glass fills.

Three matching glasses. One cohesive set. Ready for your next gathering.

A note on quantity: this is a complete set of three — not a set missing a fourth glass. Three is an intentional and practical number for intimate entertaining, and all three glasses are in matching excellent condition.

Use & Styling

• Cocktail service — gin & tonic, Tom Collins, mojito, sparkling botanical spritz, or iced herbal tea
• Bar cart display — the emerald base and etched grapevine pair beautifully with crystal decanters, brass hardware, and vintage cocktail bitters
• Open shelving or glass cabinet — backlit, the emerald base glows; the etching catches and refracts light across the shelf

• Gift giving — a meaningful, one-of-a-kind set for the cocktail enthusiast, the vintage collector, or the lover of beautiful table things

The grapevine motif and emerald base make these a natural fit for grandmillennial, maximalist, dark academia, and vintage bar aesthetics. They photograph beautifully in warm directional light and pair with both casual and dressed-up entertaining settings.
