Glassware

Shirley Temple Glassware

Child star Shirley Temple was a favorite of the public during the 1930's, so it's only natural that General Mills chose her image to help promote some of their products.  A pitcher, child's mug and cereal bowl that had Shirley Temple's image on them were popular premiums.  These items were displayed in the grocery store and were free with the purchase of a large box of Bisquick.

From ad:

'Exquisitely fashioned from Sapphire Blue "scalloped" glass --with the actual photograph of "America's Idol," Shirley Temple, right in the glass.'
