View 1980s Libbey Christmas Holly Berry Wine Glasses Gold Rim 6 Sided Stem Set of 6 with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Pattern: Holly, Berries, and Red Ribbon (Gold Rim Accent). Stem Style: 6-Sided Faceted Hexagonal Stem. Capacity: Holds 12 fluid ounces when filled to the brim. Each goblet features an elegant bowl with a very subtle tulip silhouette, showing a gentle, clean taper down toward the base of the glass. Celebrate the holiday season in classic retro style with this beautiful vintage set of six (6) Christmas wine glasses and water goblets manufactured by the historic Libbey Glass Company.  This highly collectible pattern features vibrant green holly leaves, bright red winter berries, and contrasting festive red ribbons wrapping around the bowl, all elegantly finished with a brilliant gold-trimmed rim.  Each goblet features an elegant bowl with a very subtle tulip silhouette, showing a gentle, clean taper down toward the base of the glass.  This refined form is elevated by a distinct chiseled, 6-sided faceted column stem that catches the light beautifully on a holiday dinner table, offering both durability and a comfortable grip. Crafted from high-clarity vintage soda-lime glass rather than lead crystal, these goblets still give off a beautiful, surprisingly clear resonance when gently flicked due to their excellent structural quality and rigid faceted stems. MAKER AND HISTORY The Libbey Glass Company was originally founded in 1818 as the New England Glass Company before moving to Toledo, Ohio in 1888. It stands as one of America's most storied glassmakers.  This specific "Holly Ribbons" holiday line was produced primarily during the mid-to-late 1980s.  It became a beloved seasonal staple, frequently featured in upscale department store holiday collections and famous promotional sets of the era. PRODUCTION TIMELINE * 1818: New England Glass Company is established. * 1888: Edward Drummond Libbey moves the company to Toledo, Ohio. * 1892: Company name is officially changed to The Libbey Glass Company. * 1980-1989: Libbey expands its holiday glassware lines, introducing the 6-sided faceted stem tulip bowl holly and red ribbon motif with gold rims to capitalize on the 1980s festive hosting boom. * 1990s-Present: The pattern transitions into a highly sought-after vintage holiday collectible.
