If the design was acid etched or cut into the glass, then Ariba brothers is the place (Another place to find Ariba brothers is at the Mexico pavillion at Epcot)
For years they were the only ones selling shotglasses at the parks! They do make some "standard" designs, but since the "creative" nature of their business is
hand made objects, or "personalized" objects they often have some "one of a kind" items or items where only a few were made -- not because they are trying
to create a "limited edition" but because someone asked for it or or one of the artists was feeling creative, trying out a new design, etc.
The German pavillion also has a large glassware section -- I am, not sure if they also make cut glass designs on-site, but I think that I have seen metallic glasses there.
Making designs with a cutting wheel or acid etching are too difficult for "mass market" items so it is unlikely there are many of the glass you are looking for.

: Hi,
: I am seeking a shot glass that was bought in Downtown Disney Orlando in 2000. It's light blue with a lavender tint, very shiny metallic, and has a scribbled mickey icon etched onto the surface. It's a beautiful glass. If anyone knows where I might find it, please contact me. A friend of mine searched the Disney stores recently (including Ariba brothers) and was not able to find it. Thanks.
