About the Item

Golden Gallop: Libbey’s Frosted 'Cavalcade' Highball Glasses of the 1950s This spirited Set of Twelve Libbey Tom Collins or Highball Glasses belongs to the sought-after 'Cavalcade' line of glassware, a classic example of Mid-Century Modern (MCM) barware from the 1950s. Each tall, cylindrical glass features a beautiful frosted finish that provides a misty backdrop for the decoration. The motif is a repeating pattern of three galloping horses rendered in metallic inks: two horses are depicted in crisp white, flanking a dramatic central horse rendered in lustrous 22K gold. This pattern, combined with stylized white and gold branches of leaves around the rim, creates a sense of dynamic movement and subtle luxury. The set’s large quantity and unified design made it a perfect entertaining ensemble for the rising post-war middle class, embodying the era's blend of playful decoration and practical functionality. Dimensions: 7 inches high x 2 1/2 inches diameter. Historical Context: The Cavalcade pattern was one of the many successful decorative lines produced by the Libbey Glass Company in Toledo, Ohio, during the 1950s. This period marked a major shift in American design, with companies moving away from austere forms toward more thematic, decorative, and affordable glassware sets that were sold to fit into the casual yet stylish entertaining culture of the era. The equestrian theme—featuring the timeless image of horses in motion—appealed to a nostalgic sensibility while the bold colors, metallic gold, and frosted surface placed the design firmly within the contemporary MCM aesthetic. Like many Libbey products of the time, the gold decoration would have been achieved using durable, fired-on techniques, reflecting the company’s reputation for producing practical, yet elegant, barware guaranteed against chipping. References: Vintage Barware Glassware History: (General context for Libbey's decorated lines, such as the Cavalcade and Golden Foliage patterns, being highly popular and representative of 1950s/1960s Mid-Century Modern bar culture.)
