Fabulous Set of Six Vintage Irish Mist Celtic Design Etched/Frosted Highball Glasses, Made in Italy, Mint Condition

I am continuing my effort to downsize, in advance of all our possessions having to go back into storage again in the next few months (the builders keep changing the dates!)

For sale here is a Fabulous Set of Six Vintage Irish Mist Celtic Design Etched/Frosted Highball Glasses, Made in Italy, Mint Condition

Perfect for a home bar or man cave, these beautiful vintage Irish Mist glasses feature a fabulous celtic design which is etched onto the glasses, leaving a lovely frosted finish to the design. The glasses are narrow highball in shape and stand 5.5 inches/ 14cm tall, holding 6oz. This set are in Mint condition, having only ever been on display in my glassware cabinet in my time. They are made in Italy and this is molded on the bottom of the glasses. I imagine they were made for the American market, and most examples for sale online are US based. They can be quite expensive too, a recent pair sold in the states for the equivalent of €20. See the last couple of photos.

As highball glasses, they are perfect for Irish Mist over ice, or mixed with a favourite mixer. But they are also suitable for any bar-drink requiring a highball, or even for juice. The design would really pop, when the drink inside is a dark colour.

Irish Mist is an Irish whiskey-based liqueur produced in Newark, Ireland, by the Irish Mist Liqueur Company Ltd. It has been bought and sold many times, as a business, but is back in Irish hands since earlier this year. It is made from aged Irish whiskey, heather and clover honey, aromatic herbs, and other spirits, blended to an ancient recipe claimed to be 1,000 years old.

Irish Mist was the first liqueur to be produced in Ireland when commercial production began in 1947 at Tullamore, County Offaly. Tullamore is the hometown of the Williams family who were the original owners of Irish Mist. The company history goes back to 1829 when the Tullamore Distillery was founded to produce Irish whiskey. In the mid-1940s Desmond E. Williams began the search for an alternative yet related product, eventually deciding to produce a liqueur based on the ancient beverage known as heather wine.

Irish Mist is typically served straight up or on ice, but also goes with coffee, vodka, or cranberry juice. Irish Mist's most popular recipe is Irish Mist with Cola and Lime. A Rusty Mist is an ounce of Irish Mist with an ounce of Drambuie Scotch whisky liqueur. A black nail is made from equal parts Irish Mist and Irish whiskey.

I have a seventh matching glass which I have listed separately if you only require one!
