Nice Libbey 7″ Plate in Kimberly

This is a really nice 7″ plate in Libbey’s Kimberly pattern. Most of Kimberly is unsigned due to the fact that it was made prior to the advent of signatures on cut glass. Consequently, the plate is wood-wheel polished like much of Libbey’s fine early work.

The main component of the Kimberly pattern is a large 6-pointed star formation. This formation is made up of crosshatching surrounded by double miters. Deeply cut hobstars sit between the points of the 6-pointed star. Small bits of fan adorn the hobstars.

The plate is in perfect condition with hardly a scratch on it. It measures 7″ wide and 1 3/8″ tall. The blank is consistent with that of other pieces of Kimberly – perfectly clear and bright.
