Amberina glass was first patented in 1883 in the U.S. by Joseph Locke and Edward Libby . Locke was head designer for the Cambridge division of the New England Glass Company. Edward Libby’s and his father, W. L Libbey were the owners of the company. Amberina Glass is heat sensitive glass, which shades in color from amber at the bottom to red at the top. This color shading is due to the effects of reheating the top part of the glass before allowing it to cool. This pitcher features a hobnail pattern, and has a C-scroll style handel. |
