Fred Press Double Old Fashioned Glasses Atomic Celestial 22K Mid Century Modern


This set of five (5) Fred Parry, Mid Century Modern, Double Old Fashioned Glasses make a refined period statement. They are Gold and green on clear glass. On one side there is a dominant gold Starburst and on the other there is an eclipse. The decoration is in extra fine condition, though there may be de minimus scattered loss. They were designed and made by Fred Press, whose glass is a strong contemporary of Culver Glass. Given all the planets and space bodies here it is fair to call the design “Celestial” and because all things space travel and nuclear power were on the minds of the 1960s market into which these were introduced, it is also fair to call the design “Atomic”. They are strong representatives of Mid Century Modern MCM barware. Fred Press only placed “Fred Press” on the glasses it designated as “master glasses” within a set. On this score I have never been able to figure out the rhyme or reason. Some are signed, some are not. The design is consistent throughout the set. There is extra glass laid at the bottom of each to give them a nice, weighted feel, to accompany their full palm size. The mouth opening here is 3.75″ and the height is 4.375″. Fred Press gold decoration is 22K. They were made in the United States.
1958 Mid Century George Crams Zodiac Signs Atomic Celestial Globe Constellations


A rare 1958 Mid Century Modern George Cram Zodiac Signs Stars Celestial Globe with Constellations. The globe has the atomic look to it. The globe says George F. The globe is in good shape for being 63 years old. The globe outer components are steel which includes the base, circular months identifications, and the circular degrees marker. The steel components are in nice shape. It is awesome and an eye catcher. The celestial globe measures 16.5 inches tall and 12 inches in diameter. The globe itself is in good shape but does have areas of lighter blue color and scratches as shown in my pictures. Two of the light blue areas are a few inches in length. Im not sure if the lighter areas are water damage or some other type of staining. There are some scratches on the steel circular zodiac sign horizontal plate. For its age though, the globe is in good shape. Look at the pictures closely. The globe moves around freely.
