A 1950s Grand Tour - Libbey Style

A 1950s Grand Tour - Paris, London, Venice, the Taj Mahal, a bull fighter, a castle, and a camel.  What is not to love?  They remind me of the 1950s movies I watched on Saturday afternoons when I was growing up.  I love them so much I haven't found an occasion special enough to use them. 

A set of eight up was purchased at the local flea market for a few dollars.  I have not come across them else where (in person and online), which leads me to believe that the are not very common.

Libbey Grand Tour circa 1956

Swept Away by Libbey

I have come across this pattern of Libby glass a few times and could never find the pattern name.   I identified the decoration as dandelion seeds floating through the air.  So I searched dandelion, seed, wisp, ruderal, all to no avail.  Now with the help of the catalogs on libbeyhistory.com I finally know!

Thy name is Windblown
