Vintage Libbey Golden Foliage Glass Pitcher Frosted Gold Leaf w Metal Handle 7"
This vintage glass pitcher by Libbey features a classic Mid-Century Modern design with a softly rounded silhouette, clear glass body, and a distinctive detachable gold-tone metal handle and base. The frosted band encircling the center is decorated with metallic gold and copper-toned leaf motifs, commonly known as the “Golden Foliage” pattern, giving the piece a warm, autumn-inspired aesthetic. The gently flared spout and balanced proportions make it both functional and visually appealing.
Produced by Libbey, a well-known American glass manufacturer established in the early 19th century, this pitcher reflects the brand’s reputation for durable yet stylish glassware designed for everyday use and entertaining. The combination of metallic leaf decoration, frosted detailing, and sleek form captures the essence of Mid-Century Modern entertaining pieces. Ideal for serving water, juice, or cocktails, it also works beautifully as a decorative display item for bar carts, dining settings, or seasonal décor.
