Description
This clear glass tumbler is made for one year in particular: 1985. Across the front, gold lettering reads 'Legends were born in 1985', framed by scrolls and flourishes, and beneath the year a gold ribbon banner carries the words 'One of a kind', followed by 'Admired by many, bettered by none'. A fine gold band runs around the rim and picks up the colour of the lettering, so the whole design reads as one. The glass is round with a shiny finish and a thick, clear base, and it stands 9.5cm tall and 8cm across, a comfortable size to hold in one hand.
We see it first as a birthday gift for anyone born in 1985, a cheerful way to mark the day with something they will reach for again and again. It sits happily on a home bar, a drinks trolley or a kitchen shelf, and it looks just as good on the table at a birthday dinner as it does beside a favourite armchair at the end of the evening. Because the year is part of the design, it feels personal without any extra fuss: wrap it in tissue, add a card and it is ready to give. It also slips neatly into a birthday hamper alongside a favourite tipple or a few treats.
The tumbler is made from glass with a shiny finish, and the lettering and rim are picked out in gold against the clear glass. As good practice for decorated glassware, we would wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water, keep scourers away from the gold and dry it with a soft cloth so the lettering keeps its shine. For a birthday surprise, set it on a tray with their drink of choice and a card, or pour the first round yourself and let the words on the glass do the toasting.
