Third on the list is this Libbey Nash Optic Crystal Red Threaded Centerpiece Bowl. It sold for $749.99. This is how the seller described this piece, “For your consideration is this rare, possibly one of a kind, Libbey Nash hand blown glass bowl. The red threading and optic effects are common on Libbey-Nash pieces, and many pieces are hand blown but this one is particularily large and shows the skill of the craftsman. Although I’ve had numerous center piece bowls from this maker and designer, all were solid clear glass pedestal bases, this one has a blown out and formed base and a Libbey acid stamp mark that includes a pseudo script ‘Crystal’ beneath the company logo. This piece, or anything of this shape and style, is not found or documented in Forseters Libbey Glass reference books extensive catalog reprints of the Nash era or in the few Libbey-Nash pieces seen in the Museum pieces or private collection photo cataloged in this reference book.
This is the first time that this piece has come to market since orginally purchased in the early 1990′s. It came from the home of a Libbey retiree a few miles outside of Toledo Ohio. Unfortunately, the former employee had passed and his wife could not recall specifics about how she came to own the piece but stated that her husband would bring developing concepts, production and over-run comission pieces home from work. I recall that the house was filled almost exclusively with Libbey and New England glass. The year after purchased, I was able to revisit the home in hopes of purchasing more quality Libbey only to find the home empty and boarded. Apparently, the mother had also passed and the family auctioned the contents soon afterwards. Circa: 1932 – 1934″
