Here's another advertisement from 1957;
We had some of those glasses when we were growing up, and so years later when I saw them, I simply had to have some of them. I'm just funny that way.The other day, I made some peanut butter cookies, and decided I needed to take a photo and pour my milk into one of those old glass tumblers:
I used this recipe:
From this cookbook:
I hadn't baked any cookies since before Christmas, and even though I shouldn't be eating them, I just felt like it. I might have to have my husband hide them.Maybe.
Thank you for sharing the ad. I could not, and still have a hard time wrapping my brain around the idea of peanut butter in a stemmed glass.
ReplyDeleteLooove peanut butter cookies!!!! I would help you eat them if I was there!!
ReplyDeletei don't remember that peanut butter at all but we must have had it because i remember having some of those glasses when i was little
ReplyDeleteSame thing happened to me! I have only one, but it's still fun to drink out of it. Periodically we get rid of superfluous dishes that have accumulated, but I always hang on to my peanut butter glass.
ReplyDeleteI used to love drinking out of our "special" glasses. I am tempted to buy them when I see them too but I haven't. Love the look of those peanut butter cookies! Love T
ReplyDeleteCurrently own eleven tall glasses and twelve short sherberts. My mother remembers ringing them up in the grocery store where she worked and my grandfather owned in Athens, Georgia. I don't wait for peanut butter cookies to use the glasses, they are used and appreciated everyday in my home! I would love to get my hands on one of the cup and saucer sets
ReplyDeleteI am only 35 years old, so I did not know anything about Big Top peanut butter when I was a child, but my Dad started me colegting these glasses when I was a teenager. I have the saucers, desert cups, juice glasses, and the tumblers. I need to know how many other pieces are there to this pattern.
ReplyDeleteMom had some of those tumblers and sherbert dishes, too. I grew up with about 5 or 6 of each. When older, I kept asking her where she got them, but by the time I was interested enough to ask (3 years ago), she did not remember. Then about a year ago I ran across the ad in a pamphlet telling about 1957 items. Was I excited! I told everybody about it! Now, last week in a thrift store, I found one plate, two saucers, and one cup in that same design. I cannot use the cup because it is cracked(boo hoo), but it will sit on my shelf for decoration. I don't know how many other items are in that pattern, but I will be looking!
