The Federal Glass Company of Columbus, Ohio like other major manufactures of beverage glasses dureing the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s were always adding new patterns to their collections. In the 1960 catalog from Federal, they promoted "Inca" gift sets.
Pre-Columbian Design Inspiration
According to the company catalog description, "Inca" was inpired by pre-

Three different sizes of "Inc" glassware were featured: 14oz Inca Sky-Ball, 12oz Beverage and 9oz Cocktail. These styles came in sets of eight glasses.
