Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
I meant to make this thread a month or two ago, but forgot all about it until today, when one of my glasses met it's end. I got this glass from my great grandmother when I was around 8-10 years old. This past Winter, it was un-earthed from my storage unit along with some other kitchenware from my childhood. I'd meant to photograph it for quite a while, and was really proud to still have it in my possession - so of course it became our new cup for the bathroom sink (for taking pills, rinsing post-toothbrush, etc). We've even dropped it a couple times, and saved it mid-fall, that just wasn't the case this afternoon. I know hateball is also an avid mug-fiend, but surely we've got some other members on here who are really fond of their drinkware. Both my girlfriend & myself have numerous pieces in the cupboard from our childhood, as well as some more modern finds that are equally nostalgic & geeky. With this in mind, I thought I'd start chronicling my cups, because you never know when they'll meet their demise (or get stolen). Show me what you've got, and if you care to elaborate why it's awesome, I'd love to hear it.

Re: Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
I LOVE Pint glasses. I hate plastic drinking glasses. My wife and daughter break them all the time so I actually have a pretty large collection growing in my curios cases. We also have a ton of glasses back in storage. I'll try and take some pictures this week.

Re: Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
I have a small collection of glass bottles (milk from Japan, water from Thailand, soy milk from Hong Kong...). And mugs. But everyone collects mugs. This said, your picture rocks.

Re: Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
The only printed glass I have is Steven the Bat, and everyone has seen that. But my favorite mug is this Fiesta ware Halloween mug. In our house, it's the special mug you get when you're sick and need some tea. There's a black one with an orange cat face, but I've never found one at a reasonable price.

Re: Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
Nice one Blake, we've got a nice Halloween mug too, but it pretty much only comes out for seasonal eggnog usage. Also, I believe my mom has both the Jack'o'lantern and the Cat versions of the Fiesta mug, but she has an extensive Fiestaware and/or Halloween kitchenware collection. Nice Kev, are they display only, or they get used too?

Re: Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
^^ What's up with Halloween egg nog? It's like the nog people are trying to be sneaky and expand the egg nog "season". I, for one, welcome the day when eggnog is available year round. Or at least for every holiday. For the 4th you could have Patriot Nog. For Easter, Bunny Nog, etc.

Re: Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
Never seen Hallowen eggnog before. I love the artwork on the eggnog carton.

Re: Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
Apparently a lot of brands have it, and the availability will vary depending on the dairies local to your area. It's still super awesome though Hell, when we went for Thanksgiving last year, I was rewarded with PUMPKIN Thanksgiving eggnog. Mix with coffee and I could be set drinking it all day long. Here's the Minnie Mouse mug my girlfriend dons at work for tea. I thought it was at least 10 years old, but it turns out she bought it for herself at the Orlando airport during a work trip due to being pissed off about no time to hit Disney World a few years ago. living dead wrote: I LOVE Pint glasses.

Re: Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
I'm glad to see you representing, Justin! And Matt, that Halloween Disney mug is to die for, absolutely jealous of that. My girlfriend dreams of a Halloween Disney vacation, but I'm not yet convinced (unless we're talking Tokyo ).

Re: Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
Great thread! I will need to take some pictures soon. I used to collect pint glasses and I was upwards near 100 or so. I finally had to let some some go so I got rid of the dupes. Then there's the belgian glasses, barware, etc. I also used to collect shot glasses. A bunch of them broke in the move. Edit: Here's some quick shots. Please excuse the disorganization, we're still figuring out where everything should go from the move. Once everything is put in order, I will take proper shots. Currently I have 44 pint glasses, 32 shot glasses, 18 wine and 6 champagne. Forgot to nab a pic of Grandma's crystal. And then there's the bar.

Re: Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
Damn Jeff - that's a lot of heavy fragile boxes to move! My favorite part about the bar pic is the Mario Kart Wii Funny you should mention "Grandma's crystal," as Anna was prompting me to add pics of her inherited crystal to the thread, but I haven't shot the pics just yet. In the meantime, here's some of her Muppet jars: And my 2 main mugs which I use for much more than coffee - pretty much everything but rootbeer goes in these: The weird tall & skinny one on the right I picked up about 10 years ago in an antique mall with my grandma, but I have NO clue about it's origin. I've only ever found one other photo online of another mug matching it, but it had no description and the uploader never replied to my questions about it. Shortly after we started dating, Anna gifted me the fat & short mug on the left, as a "just in case something bad ever happens to your favorite mug, and I'm at fault" kinda Christmas gift

That tall Vader looks so wistful! Also reminds me of a dog portrait.

Re: Cups, mugs, glasses, tumblers
Those Battlestar Gallactica and Looney Toons ones are great.
I have a teriffic Daffy Duck glass stored away someplace and a set of 4 Batman mugs from the early 90's from McDonald's if I remember correctly. If I can find them, I'll take photos. Oh, yeah, I also have a set of 4 Return of the Jedi glasses from way back. Gotta find that stuff.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were made by a prominent designer - my parents, dad especially, was/is very into nice, well designed household items. I looked for some sort of makers mark on the bottoms but found nothing. Thanks for the name - I'll have to check him out!
