Vintage 1950s Blue Kiddie Kup Kraft Swanky Swig Juice Glass
Description
This charming little juice glass is known as a Swanky Swig, introduced by Kraft in the 1930s as a container for their line of spreadable cheeses. The image is one of several cartoon character glasses known as Kiddie Kups. The jars had metal snap lids, and were hand decorated, although production of the jars was suspended from 1941 to 1946 due to a World War II paint shortage. After the war, production resumed, and Swanky Swigs were made until 1976. Although not marked, Swanky Swigs were made in the U.S. by the Hazel Atlas Company through the 1950s.
This Kiddie Kup in blue depicts a real bear admiring a teddy bear and a real pig doing a double take as he passes by the piggy bank on the table. The upper edge of the glass is trimmed with a white border of animals: duck, deer, rabbit, pig, chicken, rooster and dog. The glass measures 3-5/8" tall and just a hair over 2" in diameter. It is in excellent condition with no fogging to the glass. The paint is bright and intact.
Swanky Swigs are a fun kitchen collectible, and kids really love Kiddie Kups for their morning or afternoon juice. What a wonderful stocking stuffer!
