Seldom Seen Libbey Lorraine 7″ Plate – SOLD

I have seldom had a chance to offer this scarce pattern by the masters at Libbey Glass. This W.C. Anderson design provides an extremely effective use of its motifs. It’s signed in the center with the Libbey saber trademark.

The Lorraine pattern features 4 deep scallops engulfed in notching. These scallops are held together by a band of crosshatching, similar to a bouquet. In between each bouquet is a shooting star with two elongated points of crosshatching, further housing a triangular field of diamond point hexad.  This frames a square central hobstar. My favorite portion of the pattern is a crosshatched edge running right up through the teeth-this is always a sign of quality and Lorraine is no exception

The plate is in excellent condition and measuress 7″ wide. The blank is exceptional, as expected from a piece this fine.
