Great packaging. Nice photo. I see the basic ingredients of a party klatch.

Was this a 60s set?

Scott,  you are so lucky!  This color (Mardi Gras) in Soreno is probably the hardest color to find.  Nice score!!

I know...I didn't think I'd ever own any.

There is something extra special about finding something in its original box!  Not only does it make the research piece a snap, it also provides a bit of ambiance to the peice...easy to do a time travelling day dream and think about it being on a shelf in a store that no longer exists (but we remember from our childhood)...and an excited woman all decked out in her psychedelic mini-dress and white boots carrying the box to the counter to purchase it for an upcoming party! Ka-ching goes the cash register!

The graphics are wonderful, and yes, finding something in the original box makes the whole experience that much more fulfilling.  Even if I don't care about the item(s), I make sure to give original boxes a once-over.  Sometimes it seems like more attention went into the graphics / packaging design then the design of the product itself.

Is it just a reflection, or is there a little bit of iridescence in the finish as well?

Re: Anchor Hocking

Just a reflection...they're really shiney.

We had this pitcher in dark green when I was a kid. Not sure if we had any glasses or not. Forgot all about it until I saw this photo. We mixed up many a batch of Kool-Aid in that pitcher! Also mixed a ton in a hobnail milk glass pitcher - which I DO still have!
