Description
Vintage Libbey Rock Sharpe goblet in the 'Park Avenue' pattern. This elegant clear glass stemware features a deeply textured, geometric block-cut design on the bowl and a decorative faceted ball on the stem. Perfect for iced tea, water, or large cocktails. It stands approximately 7 inches tall and has a heavy, high-quality feel in the hand.
Key Features
High brand recognition (Libbey), popular geometric/mid-century revival style, heavy weight, discontinued pattern which creates demand for replacements.
Authenticity Indicators
The Park Avenue pattern is highly documented in Libbey catalogs. Look for a small 'L' in script inside a circle on the bottom of the foot, though these are often unsigned. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
None visible in photo. Look for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) around the rim and base, or white cloudiness known as 'glass cancer' which cannot be removed.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for glassware. Use Facebook Marketplace if you have a larger set to avoid shipping risks.
Selling Tips
Always use the pattern name 'Park Avenue' and keywords like 'Textured,' 'Cubic,' and 'Retro.' If you only have one, list it as a 'replacement piece.' Double-box with plenty of bubble wrap for shipping to ensure it arrives intact.
