Found a couple of port lights this weekend and noticed a variation from one already in my collection. I did a search and dug this thread up.The first pic are the two mint ports I found this weekend. Both have 100% of the gold paint and the Imperial sticker.

The bottoms with stickers

Closeup of the sticker

On the left is the imperial and the right is an unmarked port. Morgantown? The unmarked mug on the right has a wider gold rim and the top and is just a little taller.

The next pic shows the variation in the mold marks on the bottom of the glasses.


An image from the Tur Mai Kai menu showing the port light. I have heard that the port and starboard lights may have be made by Imperial and Morgantown at the same time, Does anyone have a Morgantown marked glass? Not a big variation between the two but enough to get my curiosity up. Thanks.
