Hi!
I bought 4 charming little Libbey glasses with a mark of an inverted cursive L with a circle around them with an 8 on the right of it and a 3 on the left side. They have three stripes -green/white/green with white foliage on them. I believe these were juice glasses. They have a little pedestal (indention) on the bottom.
I LOVE them and would like to find out the approximate date. I know Libbey had very age specific marks (and a lot of them).
I appreciate any help on this!
Lid

My mom has a complete Hostess set of Libbey Currier & Ives glassware, I believe pattern #3012 in the original boxes and never used, 8 pieces each. Does this have any value? Where can I research this?

They are not signed, but I have eight wine glasses that I ame very curious about. The base is smooth pink milk glass. The stem is in the shape of a naked woman holding a basket on her head. It is also pink milk glass. The bowl is clear amber. They belonged to my grandmother, probably from the 40′s or before. Are they valuable, or just a curiosity?

Can anyone tell me what a 9 under the cursive L on a Libbey beer mug stands for?

A large cut glass lamp by Libbey is going to be valued in the thousands of dollars, and is probably a museum piece. The Libbey Nash bowl is going to go for thousands as well. Probably best to contact Sotheby’s or Christies’ auction houses about these.

I have a HUGE Morning Glory bowl designed by Douglas Nash for a World’s Fair/Exposition in the 20s, I believe. My grandmother told me it is one of only two known to have been created. How can I find a need or value for this piece?

I have a signed libbey glass water pitcher that has a double edged sword under the signature. I took this to the Toledo Museum of art about 6 yrs.ago when they were having a libbey glass authority. My pitcher seemed to stir up alot of interest among the appraisers. Any idea of the value. I bought this from an auction about 30 yrs.ago from the home of two spinster sisters. Thank You

Actually all of the goblets that I posted about above are signed.

Still need to know if they are collectible and have value as a set of nine.

I have a set of nine etched water goblets that were wedding presents to my grandmother in 1911. One of the set is signed Libbey. The top of the goblet is completely round, but about an inch down, the bowl almost becomes prismatic, but very, very gently. The stem is plain and round, but the base is etched with the same pattern as the top of the bowl. I have no idea what the pattern is, but there are alternating vertical fronds and what looks like grass stems going up from the stem, and around the top there is a floral design that is very ornate, with each flower having not only a leafy base but also a leafy side stem. The flowers sort of remind me of pansies or violets.

How can I find out what pattern this is and what the value of the set might be?

depending on where you go or who you sell to, the skyscraper stem glasses are very collectible.
They were made circa 1933 I believe but I’ll have to double check that. I believe that production of the LIbbey Nash stuff was just a couple years and ended in 36 or 36 because it wasn’t actually selling well of course with the depression going on.. There are several pieces from that particular era that are very very collectible and the prices are quite high for some..
