Libbey Dessert Bowl

Libbey Ribbed Dessert Bowl — a charming example of mid-century American glass design, combining practicality with elegant form. This footed dessert bowl features a vertical ribbed optic that catches and refracts light, adding visual texture to its clean silhouette. It was part of Libbey’s wide-ranging mid-20th-century output aimed at modern households embracing stylish yet durable tableware.

Founded in 1818 as the New England Glass Company, Libbey eventually moved operations to Ohio, where it became one of the most iconic names in American glassmaking. Their ribbed optic designs, like this one, were commonly used for sundaes, fruit, and custards — ideal for informal yet polished presentations

Today, vintage Libbey pieces are beloved for their clarity, utility, and nostalgic appeal, often collected in sets or as standalone display accents.
