Capture the essence of mid-century high society and post-war celebratory culture with this complete, museum-quality vintage set of eight original "Tally Ho" Tom Collins highball glasses. Manufactured by the iconic Libbey Glass Company in Toledo, Ohio, this discontinued collection dates securely back to its original introduction in 1946. Lined up across a bar cart, these stunning pieces evoke the immediate nostalgia of upscale 1940s and 1950s cocktail hours, where entertaining was treated as an art form and themed glassware served as a vital conversation starter. Bearing the classic cursive "L" hallmark embossed on the bases, this rare, intact set of eight represents a premier acquisition for high-end barware collectors, equestrian enthusiasts, and luxury interior designers alike.
The graphic imagery wrapped around each glass serves as an in-depth visual deconstruction of the late 1940s aesthetic. Rendered in a bold, stylized mid-century palette of bright crimson, stark white, and crisp black overglaze enamels, the artwork features a jovial fox hunt in full cry. A bright red fox leaps across the upper portion of the glass accompanied by a dynamically posed packs of foxhounds giving chase in a spiral across the clear glass landscape. The composition perfectly aligns with the era's fascination with traditional English country lifestyle, Ivy League aesthetics, and prestigious hunt club culture, translating historic sporting motifs into a clean, modern graphic illustration that feels simultaneously historic and incredibly fresh.
Standing at a commanding height of 7 inches with a sleek width of 2 3/8 inches, these specialized silhouettes are the ultimate vessels for classic tall cocktails. Historically referred to as Tom Collins or Zombie glasses...
