Vintage King's Crown Thumbprint Avocado Green Water Goblets, Pair, Pressed Glass, Knobbed Stem, Sawtooth Band, Circa 1960s to 1970s

This is a pair of unmarked King's Crown thumbprint avocado green water goblets, circa 1960s to 1970s, in pressed glass with knobbed stems. Both goblets shown are included. The clear acrylic riser shown in one photo is a photo prop and is not included.

Every edge was checked by hand and is smooth to the touch, the avocado green color still looks strong, and no chips or cracks are visible in the photos. A thin line on the glass is a mold seam, a normal part of pressed glass construction, not damage.

King's Crown, also known as Thumbprint, was an 1890s pressed glass pattern later revived in colored glass in the late 1950s to 1970s. This water goblet pair, in avocado green, would stand out on a mid century table.
