Libbey "Frosted Turquoise" Ombre Champagne Flutes
Vintage Glassware / Mid-Century Modern Barware

Libbey "Frosted Turquoise" Ombre Champagne Flutes

This is a set of five vintage champagne flutes, likely produced by the Libbey Glass Company during the Mid-Century Modern era (c. 1950s-1960s). The glasses feature a distinctive conical bowl shape that tapers down to a short, integrated stem and a flat circular base. The primary design element is a satin-frosted ombre finish in a vibrant turquoise or seafoam blue color. This frosting is most opaque at the base and stem, gradually fading into transparency toward the rim of the glass. Such a transition creates a 'mist' effect characteristic of mid-century decorative glassware styles like 'Blendo.' The glasses appear to be machine-made press-molded glass, standard for the mass-market quality of that period. Physically, they stand approximately 7-8 inches tall. While no specific maker's marks are visible on the base in the provided photo, the style is highly consistent with Libbey’s 'Aurora' or similar frosted lines. The condition appears to be good with no obvious chips or large cracks visible, though the frosted coating on such vintage pieces is often susceptible to dishwasher damage, scratching, or thinning over time. The five pieces shown form a near-complete partial set, which is common in secondary market finds.
