Incredibly Rare Libbey Puritana Loving Cup SOLD

This very rare form was cut in Libbey’s seldom-seen Puritana pattern. I design that I’ve only seen a handful of times in person and always on high-quality pieces. It is signed on the handle with the Libbey trademark.

A large Libbey-style hobstar displays on the front of the piece and is flanked with cornucopias of crosshatching holding fan cutting. Below the hobstar . is strawberry-diamond cutting and a triple-miter framed hobstar. The handles are triple notched and the base is scalloped with a 24-point hobstar.

The cup is in perfect condition and all 3 handles are perfectly annealed. This Libbey blank measures 8 3/4″ tall and 5 1/4″ across the top.
