International Ballet “Germany” glass
 This is Gay Fad’s Germany glass from the International Ballet series that features colorful handpainted dancers in their native costumes. Here a blond man dressed in a green jacket, red kneepants, long yellow stockings, and a hat with a feather plays a squeeze box. First introduced in 1947, a Gay Fad ad in the June edition of House Beautiful says: “You’ll love International Ballet by Gay Fad. These gay, colorful dancers are hand-decorated by Gay Fad artists and ceramic fired so their lovely colors will last the life of the glasses. International Ballet is available now in sets of eight at fine stores everywhere.” This glass has obviously been well taken care of and looks like it’s never been used. All colors are still bright and true after more than 60 years! Stands 5" tall with diameters of 2-5/8" at its rim and 2-1/4" at its base. Unmarked bottom. Perfect condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, or paint loss. Be sure to hand wash it to keep it this way! Outstanding example of Gay Fad’s early work, having been introduced a mere two years after Fran Taylor opened Gay Fad Studios in Lancaster, Ohio. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.
