I was wondering because I do not know much about it. I purchased the cutest set of Glasses and a Matching Coffee Pot in a pattern that is so 50's it is unreal. The coffee pot is marked Perc-Right Handcraft. The glasses have an L in a circle. I am assuming it is Libby? Anyone have input?
once there, press and hold the ctrl key and then the letter F. this will bring up the find box and type in libby. press enter. this will find the first occurence of libby.
you'll find your information.

Yes, an "L" in a circle was the mark of Libbey Glass Division, Owens-Illinois, Toledo, Ohio. First used in 1955, apparently (according to the book "400 Trademarks on Glass," by Peterson). (A script "L" in a 3 segmented circle was the mark used previous to that. Their current mark is a cursive/italic "L".) Note that "Libbey" is spelled with an "e" -- otherwise you'd find a woman's name when you search.
Violetta
(Not known by this nickname anywhere but here.)
