This humorous C.1930 barware glass measures your evening from a camel to an ass to a pig and then a cock...finishing up with a caveman at the bottom of your glass...that is if you can still focus by then. The Art Deco decoration looks to be detailed hand painting with gold rings for accurate measurement. No maker's mark though I believe the glass may be British in origin. I have seen similar glasses online that are being sold as from the 1960's but this glass is definitely older. Perhaps just an earlier production. Fun for a barware collection or for those that like to put a humorous spin on Happy Hour.

Good vintage condition...no chips, cracks or breaks. The decoration looks great with little to no wear. The old wavy glass shows manufacturing flaws in the form of bubbles with an example pointed out in photograph 12 and a bit of stray paint as shown in photograph 11.

Measures a highball height of 5.88" tall x 2.75" diameter at the top tapering to 1.88" at the base...home to the tipsy caveman. See less
