Seneca Glass, USA, Lilly Pad Art Deco Whiskey Shot Set
Set of 5 Lily Pad Art Deco shot glasses from the 1930’s. All in excellent condition.
Made by Seneca Glass in the 1930’s, one of the pioneers of the West Virginia Glass community.
The black glass Lily Pad foot is hand crimped and applied to colorless vessel. The black glass is actually a very, very dark amethyst. Dark reds, purples and greens were used to simulate black glass back in the day because a true solid black glass recipe hadn’t yet been discovered. Holding the ‘black’ glass to the light, one will see glints of the true color. The lily pad foot reflects glints of purple.
In the old days, shot glasses were called “whiskeys”. Perhaps we should call them “Tequilas” today. Great fun to use. Measure 2.5″ tall.
