Rare Set of 12 Coupes or Martini Glasses, Embassy Pattern, Teague for Libbey

About the Item

This highly unusual, fully intact set of 12 Embassy pattern coupes or martini glasses were designed by Walter Dorwin Teague and Edwin W. Fuerst for the Libbey glass company in 1939. Very stylish and au courant in its time, though extremely scarce today, glasses from the Embassy pattern can be found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Wolfsonian FIU in Miami Beach, the Brooklyn Museum and the St. Louis Art Museum, among others. Teague was one of the greatest industrial designers of his day, responsible for cutting edge, streamlined designs for Eastman Kodak, Texaco oil, Corning Glass and railroad car manufacturers. Fuerst was Libbey's in-house designer starting in 1935, after Libbey was bought up by Owens-Illinois
