They also liked hammered copper— did you note
the glasses underneath the ones linked?

Completely off the "Craftsman" theme, but the
water glasses in their "Gibraltar" pattern remind
me of the glasses Yahrzeit candles used to come
in. (For the non-Jews: these are sometimes called
"memorial candles" and are used to honor our
deceased first-degree relations on certain holy
days and on the anniversary -- in Yiddish,
"Yahrzeit" -- of their passing.) Pretty much
every US Jewish home from the 1960s through the
1980s (maybe even the 1990s -- I don't recall
exactly when the switch was made to smaller
containers) used these as water glasses
(obviously *after* the candle had been burned and
the candle-remains cleaned out). I may have seen
something like the taller glass in that set
somewhere like Jahn's (regional chain of ice
cream parlors established in 1897 per
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahn%27s) or one of
the luncheonettes we occasionally went to in the 1960s and 1970s.
