A stunning set of 8 Mid Century Libbey "Cities of the World" tumblers / glasses. These glasses are simply magical with their vibrant graphics and subtle gold rims. Each city depicts what its known for (i.e. a bull fighter for Madrid). These Mid Century glassware pattern came in rocks glasses, footed glasses, and taller tumblers. Heavier in weight, these glasses have a solid feel to them. Truly a stunning set.
This set includes 8 glasses in total.
Please note: we also have this pattern in a set of 6 tumblers as well as 6 footed glasses, if you'd like a larger set. See other listings. Cheers.
Maker/Pattern/Era: Libbey, "Cities of the World", Mid Century
Hallmarks: A small embossed "L" can be found on the bottom of the glasses (some glasses has a fainter "L" as it didn't get embossed quite as heavily)
A quick summary about this glassware maker: The Libbey Glass Company has been manufacturing glassware since the 20th Century and is still producing high quality glassware today. Certain vintage Libbey glassware pieces (but not all of them, depending on the size and type of piece) is signed with a cursive “L” within a circle or ring. The mark actually appears backwards if viewed from outside of the glass, but it appears correctly when looking down through the inside. This Cities of the World pattern remains one of their most popular.
Measurements: These glasses measure 5 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" in diameter
Condition: Very, very good vintage condition with mild signs of age. The glass clarity is perfectly clear and the graphics are vibrant. In short, this set is in very good vintage condition with mild signs of age. Truly a stunning set that displays beautifully.
