Libbey? Loving Cup

This charming loving cup has many similarities to a certain Libbey pattern featured on watersets and a stickdish. It is also simlar to some of Dorflinger’s notched prism patterns (Chester and Windsor).

The pattern of the loving cup is made up of a chain of alternating hobstar and kite-shaped fan. Extending from this chain are 4 vertical notched  prisms and for plane notched panels. The three handles are adorned with double notches cojoined by an “X” shaped motif. The base is covered with a beautiful and sharp 20-point hobstar.

The loving cup measures 5 1/8″ tall and 6″ wide (including handles). The blank is exceptionally clear and the handles are perfectly annealed which is a rarity within itself (most have heatchecks). The rest of the loving cup is also in pristine condition.
