Pair of Vintage LIBBEY GLASS Jade-ite/Jadite Green and Red-Orange RINGED/STRIPED/BANDED Tumblers

Description

Let me start by saying that I am in the process of taking new photos of these two striped tumblers, because the pictures you're seeing here don't reflect them at their best. They're really quite pristine, but the photos make them look a bit cloudy. They're not! This photo grouping is all I have at the moment, but I will be replacing it as soon as I can!

Presenting two vintage striped, ringed or banded tumblers with heavy weighted bottoms. One has really beautiful Jade-ite/Jadite green bands and the other one has gorgeous red-orange bands. They're identical except for color. They both have narrow bases that gently flair upward to wider rims. Very retro look.

The bases are marked with a script "L" on the bottom designating the manufacturer as Libbey Glassware. The colored bands are crisp and clean-edged and the glass is bright and sparklingly clear.

Both tumblers are in excellent condition. There is only one tiny issue worth mentioning and that is the extremely small pin-hole in one of the bands (pictured); it could be a manufacturing flaw or post-production—I can't tell—but it's quite negligible. Just keep in mind that the photo below is greatly enlarged. The tumblers measure 5 3/4" high x 3 3/8" in diameter at the widest part of the rim.

To preserve the beauty of these tumblers and your other vintage glassware, be sure to always hand wash rather than putting them into the dishwasher. Over time, automatic dishwashing detergent coupled with extremely hot water and chemicals in the detergent and minerals in the water will eventually "etch" the glass surface making it permanently cloudy and/or discolored.

Shipping via Priority Mail will be a flat rate of $9.00 for the pair, with free Delivery Confirmation if paid for with PayPal. Insurance of $1.70 is recommended but optional.

A WORD ABOUT VINTAGE & ANTIQUE GLASS: Most of the glass I sell is vintage or antique, with features indicative of age. These may include visible base wear, bubbles, pattern irregularities, "straw marks" (i.e., cooling striations) or obvious mold lines. Old glass can have small inclusions of ash, sand, or dirt specks that became embedded in the glass during manufacture. All of these are expected characteristics of vintage glass and are generally accepted among collectors. I will point out anything that might be seen as a negative and I will do my best to describe any chips, cracks or other damage that would impact the value of the item. It’s always possible that I might miss something, but I try very hard not to.

You can always Convo me if you have questions. And, out of all the gazillions of wonderful items on Etsy, I want to thank you so much for stopping by to see mine!
