VTG 1960 Henry & Miller Kraftware Two Piece Insulated Glass Tumblers Set Of 4
This set of four vintage Kraftware tumblers by Henry & Miller Industries, New York reflects the clean, functional styling of Mid-Century Modern barware. Each tumbler is designed as a two piece insulated tumbler, featuring a smoked glass insert seated into a glossy black molded plastic base.

The insulated plastic base provides stability and comfortable handling while helping maintain beverage temperature. The smoked glass tops add subtle sophistication, making these tumblers well suited for cocktails, whiskey, highballs, or casual everyday use.
Highly collectible among Mid-Century Modern barware enthusiasts, this Kraftware tumbler set works equally well for entertaining, bar cart styling, or display within a curated vintage glassware collection.
