I love these. Great color. Never seen this shape, and like you hope to learn more. Thanks for sharing.

Nice find subversivegirl!  These are iconic Morgantown mid-century production.  Part of a console set.  I think the line was called Cosmopolitan.

Ah, I knew someone here would come thru for me - thought the color looked right for Morgantown, but I've never seen anything of theirs (in person, anyway) other than stemware/tumblers.

Thanks so much for the ID!

Every time I look at this photo, the left one seems like it's levitating about three inches above the surface. Think I've had enough caffeine. Glad you have a successful ID.

That's because it is - sort of.  I put it up on one of those cheap clear plastic punch cups and retouched the pic a little so it didn't show as much.

re levitation, I thought the same thing and didn't even see the cup till I read the comment!  Wonderful pieces!
