A stunning set of 8 Mid Century Libbey "Hotels of the World" tumblers. These glasses were a part of Libbey's "Cities of the World" collection. Similar to the Cities of the World (which showcases popular cities around the globe, i.e. Paris, Madrid, etc) -- these glasses showcase popular hotels around the world. The graphics are a lovely seafoam green tone and white with black lettering. Truly a magical set.
This set includes 8 glasses, the cities the hotels are located in include: London, Honolulu, Rio De Janiero, Olso, Miami, Quebec, Paris, Mexico, Istanbul, Nassau, and Monte Carlo.
Maker/Pattern/Era: Libbey, "Hotels of the World", Mid Century
Hallmarks: All glasses bare an "L" on the bottom
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.
Measurements: 5 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" in diameter
Condition: Good vintage condition with some very mild signs of age/wear. The glass clarity is perfectly clear (no cloudiness). Therei s some very minor "age" (purely from the course of time) and a few spots of general surface wear (i.e. a tiny scuff to a small part of the enamel/graphic). Zero chips or nicks. In short, these glasses are in very good vintage condition and display beautifully.
**On shipping: We take our packaging very seriously and carefully wrap all pieces to ensure safe delivery. Please note: we're not making a penny on shipping. These glasses will be packed extremely well to ensure safe arrival and will be double-boxed -- which means a larger, heavier box.
