Maker/Pattern/Era: Libbey, "TWA Destinations", Mid Century
Hallmarks: A few of the glasses have a very faint embossed "L" but most of them do not (not uncommon if the embossed hallmark didn't get deeply embossed during manufacturing).
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: 3 1/2" tall x 3 1/4" in diameter
Condition: Very good vintage condition with mild signs of wear. The glass clarity is perfectly clear (no cloudiness). The graphics are vibrant and in great shape overall. Zero chips or nicks. In short, these glasses are in very good vintage condition and display beautifully.
