Festive Glass HR Rosco

(1/3) > >>

josordoni:
I succumbed to these little Festive shot glasses because they were in their original box.

But I can't find anything about them anywhere - there is an HR logo, and a "Rosco" product under that - who is the actual maker, and roughly what date - I am assuming 60s?

Here is the gallery:

David E:
1960s is a fair estimate. But do you mean the actual maker of the glass, or the company who decorated them?

Frank:
Hoskins Rose used Rosco as a trade name at least in 1950 (courtesy the Glass-Study).

Glasses could be imported, or not. Decoration could have been done by glassworks or a specialised decorator, even Pirelli or Vasart - although not saying they did..

Heidimin:
What a fab box - I can see why you fell for it.

There seems to be a lot of decorated glassware from this period - mainly transfer-printed, gilded or frosted - which was sold without any branding on the boxes. I think one clue is on the box: "decorated in UK", which to me implies that the glasses themselves were probably made somewhere else. France has to be one strong possibility - lots of tableware production exported to the UK at this time.

Frank:
Pirelli used a lot of French blanks. Some British too.
