We had glasses like the vases in this picture growing up. I remember seeing them on the top shelf of our glass cupboard and thinking they were pretty but I seldom ever remember using them. We generally used the plastic variety (typical of a household with young children). They were acrylic blue and I remember on the occasion of beets or some other vegetable which at that age was most emphatically NOT palatable, we (I seem to remember others giving me the idea)... I continue... WE would spit the vegetable back into the bottom of the glass, submerging it into a sea of milky white. On those nights we were all too willing to take our dishes to the sink and rinse.
The vases are pretty aren't they? I wish my Mom still had those cups or I'd ask her for one or two!
