🍯 Design & Details
I included this piece because it reflects a time when even grocery items were fun to collect. Welch’s produced this glass in 1990 as part of its jelly jar program, and it was originally sold filled with jelly before being reused as a drinking glass.
The design features Tom the cat surfing, shown in black, white, and gray graphics. Because of that, the artwork feels bold and graphic while still keeping its playful cartoon charm.
As a sought-after collectible, this glass represents a moment when jelly jars became part of childhood routines, kitchen tables, and everyday memories.
