1958 Siesta Ware Canners League California Centennial Amber Mug Santa Barbara CA:
$64.99
A distinctive piece of California food-industry history, this vintage 1958 Siesta Ware commemorative amber glass mug was made for the Canners League of California 54th Annual Meeting, held in Santa Barbara, California, in 1958.
One side features the event inscription:
“Canners League of California
54th Annual Meeting
Santa Barbara
1958”
The opposite side commemorates an important milestone in California history:
“California Canning Industry
100th Primus”
The 1958 meeting coincided with the 100th anniversary of California’s canning industry, making this much more than a typical vintage drinking mug. The Canners League of California was a long-established trade organization representing the state’s canning and food-processing industry, and surviving memorabilia connected specifically to its annual meetings and centennial celebration appears to be relatively uncommon.
The mug itself is genuine Siesta Ware, clearly marked “Siesta Ware” on the bottom along with the number 5. Siesta Ware was produced by the Benner Glass Company and became known for its distinctive mid-century drinkware combining colored glass with wooden handles and decorative metal bands.
This example features rich amber-colored glass, a substantial sculpted wooden handle, and gold-tone metal bands around the upper and lower body. The wood handle is attached with metal hardware, giving the mug the classic rustic Mid-Century Siesta Ware appearance.
Approximate Measurements:
* Height: about 5 in.
* Mouth diameter: about 3 in.
* Weight: 10.9 oz
The original white commemorative graphics remain clearly visible on both sides, including the California Canning Industry centennial emblem and the Santa Barbara meeting inscription. The piece shows normal vintage age and use consistent with an item dating to 1958, including some age-related wear to the wood, metal components, and surfaces. Please review all photos carefully, as they are an important part of the description and condition details.
A particularly appealing collectible for enthusiasts of Siesta Ware, California history, Santa Barbara memorabilia, vintage advertising, food and canning industry memorabilia, Mid-Century barware, amber glassware, corporate convention souvenirs, and 1950s Americana.
A wonderful display piece with an unusually specific documented date, organization, location, and historical anniversary — California Canning Industry Centennial, 1858–1958.
