A magical set of 8 "TWA Destination" glasses by Libbey, Mid Century, still in their original box. Libbey made a different variations of "TWA / Destination" glasses. This particular pattern features a frosted box on each side, one with a "Country" and the other with "TWA" in gold font along with an ornate scrolled pattern. And each glass/country has boxes on the other two sides of the glass that depict/represent that city (i.e. Hong Kong has two different dragons, England has a two different English crests, etc). We wish we can include images of each country, but we can only upload a total of 10 photos. These glasses are "footed" with a small footed base. Truly a stunning set. Why plan a trip around the world when you can hit all of these countries from your living room?? Cheers!
This set includes 8 glasses and the following cities: England, France, Hong Kong, Greece, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland
We have other Libbey Destination glasses/patterns in our vintage inventory, if you'd like a different vintage pattern. Please see other listings.
Maker/Era: Libbey, Mid Century
Hallmarks: A few of the glasses have an embossed "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: 4 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" in diameter
Condition: These glasses are in excellent shape. They appear to be NOS (new old stock, still in their original box). The glass clarity is perfectly clear (no cloudiness). The graphics are vibrant and in great shape overall. Zero chips or nicks. The box, however, does show signs of age (that cardboard gets over the years). In short, these glasses are in very good vintage condition and display beautifully.
