G. Reeves for Libbey Black Crown and Laurel Pilsner Glasses - 8 retail

Product Name: G. Reeves for Libbey Black Crown and Laurel Pilsner Glasses - 8 retail
I know Pilsner glasses are not the first glasses you would reach for when serving drinks, but these are quite sophisticated, beautiful and functional. These type of glasses are making a comeback for sparkling drinks, like Prosecco, or water. These glasses were designed by G. Reeves for Libbey in the 1960s. I do not know why these are unsigned, but they are clearly the real deal. For some reason G. Reeves did not sign every glass within this line. The pattern is Black Crown and Laurel. The gold design is NOT a coin! It is a crown surrounded by two laurel leaves. These glasses are in 99% pristine condition. Two of the glasses have MINOR gold wear just at the top band. See retail 2nd to last pic. The rest of the glasses are 100% pristine. The gold is completely intact, and the black matte background is vibrant and unfaded. All glasses measure 8 1/4” tall and 2 3/4” at the mouth.  From the MCM era, Reeves was a contemporary of Fred Press and Georges Briard during the MidModern era.
