🍋 Description

Step into a Southern summer that never ends. This beautiful vintage 1980 faux iced-tea display set includes a heavy pressed-glass pitcher and matching tumbler, each filled with lifelike amber resin “tea” and perfectly sculpted acrylic ice cubes. A bright faux lemon slice and clear straw complete the look of an ice-cold refreshment—yet it’s a prop that never melts.

Stamped 1980 on the glass base, this set is a genuine piece of display history from the era when diners, cafés, and home decorators used realistic faux beverages to bring warmth and hospitality to their spaces. The craftsmanship captures every detail—the golden hue of sweet tea, the clarity of the “ice,” and the nostalgic charm of a porch-swing afternoon.

Whether displayed on a kitchen counter, in a restaurant showcase, or in a retro dining vignette, this set instantly invites smiles and conversation. It’s a reminder of the days when life was a little slower, tea was brewed strong, and the sound of clinking ice meant comfort was near.

✨ Condition

Used but like new—no chips, cracks, or clouding in the glass. The resin interior remains beautifully clear and amber. The lemon slice is bright and intact. Only the straw shows slight damage, typical of its age but still firmly in place.
