Happy Anniversary! (to me)

My husband and I recently celebrated eleven years of (blessed) marriage. His gift to me: the mint-condition, adorably kitschy mugs below.


The mugs each say "Happy Anniversary!" in golden-yellow with what looks like martini glasses filled with bubbling champagne and toasts in different languages--"Na Zdrowie! L'chiam! Salute! Skal! Santee! Prost! Za Zhdarovya! Cheers!"

My question for my fellow Pyrex-ollectors: did people used to be able to get Pyrex mugs printed with their own designs? We were only able to find two other references to these anniversary mugs online--one on Pinterest, and another sale on eBay. I could totally see someone getting these made for a golden anniversary party favor or something, but I don't know if that is something that was ever done.
