A scarce set of Libbey "Longchamp" glasses, 1950s. This pattern features a stylized Atomic horse race design of horses and jockeys in vibrant red, white and black enamel, gold accents, and frosted background. Libbey made this pattern from 1950-1959. These glasses have a magical feel to them. We took photos in two different lighting settings to try and capture how vibrant they are. Truly a magical set.
A bit about this pattern/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.
Maker/pattern/era: Libbey, Longchamp, 1950-1959
Hallmarks: There's a backward "L" on the bottom of each glass (when you're looking down inside the glass the "L" is facing the correct way).
Condition: Very good vintage condition. Please note: their are natural "manufacturing" occurrences that are common with Mid Century glassware such as a tiny extra spec of white or red enamel that made its way to the frosted glass, or a lighter area on the frosted glass, etc. Some of the glasses also have what appears to be a "wrinkle" on the bottom of the glass (very subtle and common with Mid Century glassware). Again, purely the nature of MCM glassware. Cheers!
Measurements: 5 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" in diameter
**On shipping: We take our packaging very seriously and carefully wrap all pieces to ensure safe delivery. These glasses will be double-boxed to ensure safe arrival.
