Lot #64: Siesta Ware Alabama Souvenir Mug

A barrel-shaped amber glass souvenir mug featuring a wooden handle and brass-toned metal bands. Siesta Ware was a line of glassware produced by the Benner Glass Company starting in the late 1940s. These mugs became iconic mid-century souvenirs found at roadside attractions across the United States. The rustic design, mimicking a wooden barrel, captured the casual outdoor aesthetic of the post-war era. This specific piece commemorates Alabama landmarks including Cathedral Caverns and the Natural Bridge. 1950-1970 The glass maintains good color and the screen-printed graphics remain legible. The wooden handle shows minor signs of age and the metal bands exhibit slight oxidation consistent with vintage kitchenware. Dimensions: 5x3 Pickup category timeslot {A}
