Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.

Hi Kelli,

I was hoping this thread would take me further with my research on my own tumbler.  You seem to have resolved yours, but I tried the google suggestion and didn't find the answer.  Would you be able to let me have a link to what you found for yours?

Mine appears to be the same basic tumbler (is yours 3.75" high by about 2.75" dia at the top?) but has what appears to be a church, and the words "Maria Bell".  It is also Ruby flashed (I think that's the term for it).  It was the orb on top of the crown on yours that caught my attention.  Maybe the same maker made souvenirs for many places.  I haven't been able to work out if Maria Bell is the name of the church in the picture.

Cat, this sounds familiar to me with 'Maria Bell'
but I really do not know, it's just intuition  :-X

Cat, your tumbler does have the same basic shape, but the workmanship looks so much finer than that on mine...

I didn't pursue maker any further once I saw that this was probably a highball tumbler from a cruise line - they make them cheaply I would imagine since a lot of them end up like mine must have, smuggled into someone's luggage and taken away as a souvenir.

Yours is gorgous! Looks like a cathedral?

I wonder if tumblers are made like yours as 'souvenirs' from Catholic confirmation or first communion ceremonies, or even made for funerals of longtime congregatation members in certain areas? Maybe even a Vatican souvenir, with the name added at the time of purchase...

The building on Cat's glass looks like a Russian Orthodox Church to me bacause of the onio shaped domes.

Beat me to it Connie. I think it looks like a Russian Orthodox also.
