Another Fabulous Libbey Nash Pattern, "Symphony"

                          Libbey Nash, Symphony c 1932, 8.75" Water Goblet

This pattern of Libbey Nash design, called Symphony, was made in some quantity, though still quite rare. The Libbey Nash catalog stated: "Since this line is strictly custom-built, the section just above the foot may be had in jade green, lapis blue, ruby or transparent turquoise." The engraving on the trumpet shaped bowl is ebullient, as if reaching a celebratory crescendo. The "ruby" color varies slightly on each piece.
