Large puppy dogs and chickens in orange enamel circle the sides, with a band of tiny white animals across the top — cheerful, graphic, and utterly of its era. Hand washing is recommended to protect the design.

One of seven colors in the Kiddie Kup series, it's a favorite for collectors building the complete set, and a lovely gift for the vintage kitchen collector, a Swanky Swigs enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates the small domestic objects that made everyday life a little more delightful.

Swanky Swigs were made popular by Kraft Foods, who sold their cheese spread and jellies in reusable decorated glasses during and after the Great Depression. This Kiddie Kup, made by Hazel Atlas for Kraft, dates to 1956.

The Hazel Atlas Corporation was founded in 1885 in Wellsburg, WV, by Charles N. Brady and C.H. Tallman. It began by making glass inserts for zinc canning-jar lids and grew into the largest glass-container manufacturer in the world. In 1956 it was acquired by the Continental Can Company.
