Libbey Rock Sharpe Floral Crystal Highball

Produced by Libbey’s Rock Sharpe division beginning around 1947, this tall beverage glass features a delicately wheel-engraved floral spray — a soft blossom surrounded by fine, upward-reaching leaves. The etch has that unmistakable satin glow that only true engraved crystal delivers.
 
The form is clean and architectural: straight-sided, balanced in the hand, with a solid base that gives it weight and presence. It feels substantial without being heavy — exactly what post-war American entertaining aimed for.
