Uranium Green Rim Pressed Glass Tumbler Trio Mid-Century 1960s–70s

This group contains three Uranium drinking tumblers produced using press-molded glass techniques during the 1960s to 1970s. Each piece is decorated with diagonal surface texture and finished with a green-tinted rim, offering subtle visual contrast. Initially misidentified as green-based vessels, the corrected analysis confirms that the coloration appears at the drinking edge. These tumblers represent industrial domestic design from the post-war era, when molded glass emphasized durability, uniformity, and restrained decoration in household utility items across Western and East Asian markets.

In the decades following World War II, glass production shifted toward automation, facilitating the rise of press-molded techniques. Designers began adding light color accents—such as rim tints—to elevate everyday glassware. The green rim motif reflects mid-century sensibilities, valuing understated aesthetic enhancements over ornate embellishment.
