Extremely Rare Tray in Libbey’s Rosella – SOLD |
Rosella was Libbey’s most expensive design and one look at this tray and you’ll know why. It’s completely singular and features an unusual, William C. Anderson designed, combination of motifs cut with surgeon-like percision.
A chain of clear button hobstars runs along the edge of the bowl undulating on four loops. Each loops frames a large hobstar with fans on its left and right. A small clear button hobstar is housed in a triangle with three triangular crosshatched fields. The center of the plate has a 4 button hobstar formation around a deeper star.
This plate is on a stunning. clear blank and measures 11 3/4″ wide and 1 3/4″ tall. It’s in perfect condition. This is the only one of these plates I’ve ever seen and a true cut glass treasure.
