Brown Glass Tumblers Appraisal

Vintage Libbey Smokey Brown Footed Tumblers

This is a set of six vintage Libbey "Smokey Brown" footed tumblers, likely dating from the mid-20th century, consistent with the style of Libbey's production during that period. Each tumbler features a distinctive smokey brown, translucent glass body with a solid, darker brown foot. The most prominent feature is the ornate, metallic gold patterned overlay that covers a significant portion of the lower half of each glass. The pattern appears to be a repeating, stylized floral or scroll motif, executed with fine detail, adding an element of classic elegance. The tumblers have a sturdy, wide base that tapers upwards slightly to a straight-sided rim, typical of old-fashioned or rocks glasses. Based on the image, the condition appears to be good for vintage items, with the gold detailing largely intact on most of the tumblers, though some minor wear or fading could be present upon closer inspection, which is common for glassware of this age. There are no immediately visible cracks, chips, or significant damage, suggesting a reasonable level of care over their lifespan. The craftsmanship is indicative of mass-produced yet quality glassware from the era, with uniform size and consistent application of the decorative pattern.
