Now this is a Really Cool Idea! this is a Fenton Rib Optic Night set from the 1930s and as you can see is made out of two pieces, the Tumbler and the Jug, Basically this was made so that you could fill it up with Cold water by your bed and then when you were thirsting at night you could use the Lid as the cup and then put it back on to keep the water clean, a Great idea and a Really Sweet piece! Thanks for looking!
Best Regards

After searching my trusty book, lol, I have found them. Very nice pieces.
