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.

The furniture mass-produced by Stickley and his imitators was extremely 
popular, as were all those prefab bungalow houses from Sears, etc., and 
the premade room dividers and other built-ins you could buy to put in them.


Thanks but I forgot to say, clear glasses.

Best,

Following on the lace curtain discussion, any suggestions for Craftsman/Arts
& Crafts glasses, for iced tea and lemonade? About 14 ounces?  My husband
and I are drinking lemonade every day now that we have a Meyer lemon tree,
which fruits pretty much continuously all year.  Meanwhile, we only had
four, nonmatching glasses from different sets of ours and our respective
parents', and one of those just broke.  
Does anyone know of any glasses that look Arts & Crafts?

Thanks for any help.
