These are from around the early 90's. So far I haven't tracked down any info on them. Last week I found a pair of similar style at a junk shop for 2 bucks. They have a different pose that on the orig. I got, and are a little shorter. They are cool glasses. Anyone have any info on them?????

My glasses are vintage, tall and heavy. Made by Libbey as far as I can make out the mark on the bottom. Sorry about the pic quality but it's hard to get a good one of clear glass.

I know those glasses very well, but I know them from a Thai restaurant in the U-District in Seattle in the early '90s. It's what they served their Thai Iced Coffees in. I loved those glasses, I wanted them so very badly.

Looks like Libbey still makes them (product code 1620). A few restaurant supply places sell them, here they are for $52.38/dozen: La Femme glasses at Top Food Service. Nice to have a little personal mystery solved!

The two new ones I found look a lot alike, (must get pics posted) they have the same glass pattern, about a inch shorter and the girls are all turned to the side. I'm glad someone knew about them, I haven't seen them on e-bay or anywhere!
