Peninsulas Holiday Time in Michigan Souvenir Glass Frosted Tumbler Cabin Deer Christmas

This is a Peninsulas Holiday Time in Michigan frosted glass tumbler, a modern souvenir glass designed in the style of mid 1950s souvenir glassware.

The print is crisp and the colors are strong, from the forest green pines to the mustard yellow MICHIGAN banner, and the frosting is even from rim to base with no chips or cracks anywhere on the glass.

Peninsulas is a Michigan design company based in Cross Village, and its drinkware follows the souvenir form that tourist shops sold in the mid 1950s, a scene on one side and a state map on the other. The map here is a hunt for hometown names, with Christmas, Crystal Falls, Gladstone, Newberry, Northport, Good Hart, Spruce, White Cloud, Frankenmuth, Potterville, Northville, Holly, and Coldwater printed beside LAKE MICHIGAN.
