Libbey Hobstar 8-Pc Beverage Set, Open Stock, 12 oz Double Old Fashion & 16 oz Cooler Glasses

From the mid-18th to mid-19th centuries, cut glass was at the peak of fashion in the U.S., enjoying what has come to be known as its brilliant period. This period was named for the quite literal brilliance of the faceted glass itself, as well as (one would wager) for a certain more abstract, fabulous feeling that comes from swirling ice cubes around in sophisticated tumblers during the cocktail hour. In recognition of the renewed interest in cut glass, Libbey has reproduced some of its most popular hand-cut crystal designs, creating everyday glassware that is beautiful, and durable. This set contains four double old-fashioned glasses (12-ounce capacity) and four cooler glasses (16-ounce capacity). The well-known Hobstar motif is derived from a simple star. Rays emanate from a center point; the points of the star then connect back to each other, creating a beautiful geometric ornament. These glasses have great heft and are dishwasher-safe.
