Condition
Good to Very Good. The glass appears clear without chips or cracks, but there is visible wear and thinning to the silver metallic band at the rim, which is common for this vintage.
Demand Level
Moderate. MCM glassware has a steady following, but single glasses move slower than complete sets.

Vintage Libbey MCM wine goblet featuring a elegant silver-tone metallic band decorated with frosted Fleur De Lis motifs. This classic stemware piece stands approximately 6 inches tall with a clear glass body and a sturdy pedestal base. Perfect for a Hollywood Regency or Mid-Century Modern bar cart display.
Key Features
Mid-Century Modern appeal, highly recognizable Fleur De Lis pattern, collectible brand, and timeless silver/chrome aesthetic that fits modern 'Old Money' or Regency decor trends.
Authenticity Indicators
Libbey pieces of this era often featured a cursive 'L' on the bottom of the glass, though many were unmarked. The specific fleur-de-lis frost pattern is a known Libbey design cataloged in MCM glass guides. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Metallic rubbing and loss on the silver rim (visible in photo). Some light surface scratches may be present. These are not dishwasher safe, and previous machine washing often causes the fading seen.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage glass enthusiasts), eBay (broadest reach for collectors replacing broken pieces), or local Facebook Marketplace if selling as a large set.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'MCM', 'Hollywood Regency', and 'Barware' in keywords. Use a dark background when photographing to make the frosted Fleur De Lis pop. If selling a single glass, market it as a 'replacement piece'. Always hand-wash before photos to remove fingerprints.
