Embossed Daisies Large Glass

This 17 oz tumbler from Simons Maison revives the 1885 Daisy and Button pattern and 1930s Depression glass aesthetic in a $10, dishwasher-safe soda-lime glass. Its raised embossing delivers a vintage hand-pressed feel and textured grip, catching light to create shifting highlights and shadows, with a mossy green tint recalling classic Depression tumblers. The tradeoff is that the same embossing prevents stable stacking and may retain debris during washing, though it offers a budget-friendly, durable cottagecore alternative to fragile antiques, avoiding the cost and condition risks of original vintage pieces.
