Did Kaj Franck ever design a set of glasses in his Famous Mushroom Pattern?

That would be 'in the style...
That would be 'in the style of' and only loosely so--I'd guess they're of Japanese origin.
The Mushroom pattern, btw, isn't by Franck -- it's by Esteri Tomula. Franck designed the bowl (and other Arabia/Finel patterns) on which you commonly see it.
In particular, note the lack of detail in the mushrooms compared to the Tomula pattern.

I don't think it's 'retro'...
I don't think it's 'retro' but rather actual vintage just not Franck(or Tomula's). Glasbake used a similar design in some of their bowls and casseroles.
