I’m hoping someone out here can tell me some information on some coffee cups I have from my grandmother. I can’t find ANY information on them. I have 2 blue, 2 green, 1 pink and 1 yellow. I’ve included the pictures. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

    Aren't those fun? But mugs not cups. Fred Roberts, a company based in San Francisco, will be the importer. And they'll date to the 1970s (or perhaps late 1960s.)

    Mugs. Noted, thank you! I have found other patterns from the company and I guessed the 70s as well but I’m looking for replacement cup for the yellow and cannot find the pattern anywhere. I’ve called it waves, bubbles, ombré, etc to no avail. I found one pink cup on Etsy and got it but the seller knew nothing about it; she also mentioned she couldn’t find any info about them.

    They would have come over in sets and not in great quantities so not surprised you're having difficulty finding replacement. "Fish scales" I'd call them (but suspect I'd be alone in that.)

    Do you know if the company was a department store type? As in sold all over the US? My grandparents traveled quite a bit so I’m wondering if she picked them up in CA or maybe just got them somewhere here in Texas.

    I'd certainly think national distribution. (If you look at Fred Roberts items available on internet, on offer all across country.)
