🥛 Tyrannosaurus Rex Jelly Jar Glass
Tyrannosaurus Rex Jelly Jar Glass is the perfect #cupofmood, the kind of cup that brings childhood dinosaur fascination back before the first sip even happens. Because of its bold prehistoric artwork, it turns a simple look into a powerful wave of nostalgia.
For that reason, this glass is best appreciated as a keepsake.
🥛 Why This Glass Feels Right
This Tyrannosaurus Rex jelly jar glass feels right because dinosaurs captured so much childhood imagination. A running T-Rex instantly brings back memories of books, toys, and school projects, and as a result, the glass feels exciting and familiar.
It feels adventurous.
It feels nostalgic.
And finally, it feels like something meant to be remembered.
In addition, many people remember these jelly jars sitting on kitchen tables long after the jelly was gone, which strengthens the emotional connection today.
🍯 Design & Details
I included this piece because it represents a standout design from Welch’s late-1980s dinosaur series. Welch’s released this glass in 1988 as part of a dinosaur-themed jelly jar collection that was originally marketed for reuse as a drinking glass.
The illustration features a yellow and white Tyrannosaurus Rex in motion, with two smaller dinosaurs positioned along its tail. Because of that, the artwork feels energetic and story-driven rather than still.
As a popular collectible today, this glass reflects a time when everyday packaging doubled as something kids wanted to keep.
🎁 A Thoughtful Gift Idea

📌 Good to Know
This is a genuine vintage Welch’s jelly jar glass from 1988.
It was originally sold containing jelly and intended for reuse as a drinking glass.
However, the decorative paint on this collectible glass may contain lead. For that reason, it is best suited for display or collection rather than food or beverage use, and it should be handled with care, especially around children.
The mug is shown exactly as pictured.
Any minor wear, light marks, or small imperfections are part of the character of the piece. Each item in my shop comes from my carefully curated collection of individual mugs, cups, and drinkware inspired by my travels around the world.
