Elevate your home bar or cocktail experience with this exceptional set of 5 vintage mid-century modern "Roly Poly" cocktail/shot cups by Oneida Silversmiths. Manufactured in the USA around the 1960s or 1970s, these heavy, rounded statement cups boast a space-age design featuring weighted, non-tip ball bases that pivot playfully without spilling a drop. Standing at 2.5 inches tall, this set is a beautiful estate collection consisting of identical silhouettes from the Oneida family: two cups feature the script "Oneida" hallmark, and three feature the "Wm. A. Rogers" mark (a premium subsidiary brand of Oneida) [Image 1, 2]. Because they were made by the same parent company using identical factory molds, they match perfectly in size, weight, and design. Each cup is heavily coated in a silver-plated exterior over a solid brass base metal. An Interesting Estate Variance: Reflecting their history as a compiled estate set, one cup features a rich gold wash (vermeil) interior lining, while the other four feature a bright silver-plated interior. This makes the set uniquely versatile; you can designate the gold-wash cup for the host, use it to highlight a special liquor, or display them as a visually distinct collector's layout. They are left in their original, heavily tarnished state, showcasing an exquisite aged rainbow patina that antique collectors covet. Product Specifications: Brand/Manufacturer: Oneida Ltd. & Wm. A. Rogers (Mixed Set) Era: Circa 1960s – 1970s (Mid-Century Modern) Quantity: Set of 5 matching cups Height: 2.5 Inches Capacity: Approx. 2 to 3 Fluid Ounces Materials: Heavy Silverplate exterior over brass (1 cup with vermeil gold-wash interior) Base Style: Weighted "Roly Poly" anti-tip barrel shape Condition Report: Great vintage structural condition.

(Note: These can be hand-polished back to a mirror-shine bright chrome finish with silver cream if the buyer prefers a modern look, but they are sold as-found to preserve their antique character).
