Tintin & Snowy (Milou) - Chiba Bank Promotional Glass Set (2) - Hergé / Moulinsart (1998)
Description
Introduction
An exceptional and highly collectible set of two vintage drinking glasses featuring Hergé’s iconic characters, Tintin and Snowy (Milou). This exclusive set was produced in 1998 as a limited-edition promotional novelty gift ("Giri") for customers of Japan's Chiba Bank, making it a rare cross-cultural collectible that was never available for public commercial sale.
Design & Details
Each glass features a vibrant, high-quality color portrait block in classic Hergé style, accompanied by the character's name in bold typography.
Tintin Glass: Features a classic profile of the young reporter on a blue background, with an English description on the reverse: "Tintin is a young reporter running around the world with his partner Snowy." It prominently bears the "Chiba Bank Gift" corporate branding.
Snowy Glass: Features a charming profile of the faithful wire fox terrier on an orange background, with matching typography.
Official Licensing: Both glasses and the original packaging carry the official copyright marker: HERGÉ / MOULINSART 1998.
Manufacturer: The original Japanese care slip attributes the production to the reputable Jushimatsu Shoten (㈱十四松商店), guaranteeing high-quality vintage glasswork.
Condition Report
Glasses: New Old Stock (NOS) / Unused. The glass bodies remain perfectly clear, and the enameled graphics are vibrant, complete, and completely free of fading, scratches, or flea bites.
Packaging: Includes the original, specific Chiba Bank promotional cardboard carry box. Due to long-term storage since the late 1990s, the white outer cardboard shows minor age-related toning/staining (as visible in photos), but remains structurally sound with its original handle tabs intact.
Inserts: Includes the original Japanese printed glass care instruction slip.
Dimensions
Height: 11 cm
Diameter: 6 cm
Collector's Note
European Tintin memorabilia licensed for the Japanese banking sector in the 1990s represents a fascinating, highly sought-after niche for Hergé enthusiasts. Because these were distributed solely to regional bank clients in Japan nearly three decades ago, finding a complete set with its original, dedicated corporate box in unused condition is exceedingly rare.
Please review the high-resolution photographs carefully to assess the precise aesthetic condition of the outer packaging before bidding.
