Mt. Rainier Souvenir Brass Shot Glass

This striking vintage brass souvenir cup features intricate embossed and gilded relief designs depicting Mount Rainier and surrounding architectural details. The front panel reads “Mt. Rainier – Elevation 14,408 ft” in raised lettering, surrounded by ornate scrolling and a radiant border. The bottom retains part of the original paper label, typical of early souvenir production.

Standing approximately 2.5 inches tall and 2 inches wide, this small cup was likely made as a decorative or commemorative piece rather than for drinking. The darkened patina and worn gilding add authentic vintage character.
