Description

You are purchasing 2 Blue Moon & Stars Goblets. These goblets are a rich blue in color. Please carefully read below regarding identifying the manufacturer of Moon & Stars Goblets. In this case based primarily on the thickness of the base, I believe these goblets were manufactured by L.E. Smith. I have provided you with all the size information that you might need to match these goblets to any that you own.

Based on what you will read below, you will understand that the identification of the manufacturer of many Moon & Stars pieces is very difficult if not next to impossible.
My identification or lack of identification of a manufacturer is simply based on my best judgement. I will only group together like items based on a number of measurements. If you are purchasing goblets/tumblers to match items you already possess you should use these measurements.
Regarding goblets/tumblers the following measurements will be provided.
Height/Tall,
Bowl Opening Diameter, Base Diameter, Item Weight, Ounces held when filled to the rim.
These Measurements will enable you to match what you are purchasing to any goblets/tumblers you might own.
History of Moon & Stars
We must first understand that the Moon & Stars pattern has been used on glassware by many different manufacturers. This pattern was introduced by Adams and Company in 1874 and was originally called Palace. Little is known about the production of the pattern from around 1900's until 1930's.
In about 1937 or 1939 S. Wright (L.G. Wright) went to Mr. Frank Fenton (Fenton Glass) to produce Moon & Star pieces.  Also between the 1930's and the 1960's L.G. Wright contracted with Island Mould Company to produce Moon & Star pieces which they purchased.
In 1999 when the L.G. Wright Company closed Island Mould purchased almost all the Moon & Star moulds.
In 1907 the L.E. Smith Glass Co. was formed. In the 1940's the L.E. Smith Glass Company was reproducing early american pressed glass. Some belief exists that this included Moon & Stars though no records can be found to document this belief.
In 1962 L.E. Smith Co. contracted Island Mould Company owned by the Weishar family to produce some new Moon & Star moulds. Island Mould Company would own the moulds and the L.E.Smith Company would pay them royalties on every piece produced from the moulds. This sky rocketed the sales of Moon & Star pieces. Moon & Stars was the number one selling pattern of the Smith's line.
The Weishar family still owns and operates Island Mould Company. They still retain ownership to almost all the handmade moulds previously made.
In 1993 Weishar began to make  limited series of Moon & Stars, this was expanded in 1999 to include many of the Wright items.  All of these have the Weishar signature. Except for the Weishar pieces almost all other items (with a few exceptions) ARE UNMARKED.
Identifying Manufacturers of Moon and Stars
Many items made by L.G. Wright Company and L.E. Smith may look the same, but they call them by different names. For example, one company will call their compote an 8 inch compote and the other will call it a 12 inch compote or candy box. They are both 8" wide and 12" tall. One identifies it by width and the other by height.
Another good example of this is the goblets. One calls theirs a 9 ounce and the other an 11 ounce. Both will hold 11 ounces if filled to the rim.
In addition to Adams, Wright, Smith and Fenton many others are rumored to have made Moon & Stars in the 1950's 60's, 70's and 80's.
Regarding goblets in some cases the manufacturer can be identified by color. There is also a general agreement that goblets with thicker and larger bases, as a general rule are the Wright goblets.
Shipping cost includes packaging materials when applicable and insurance cost.
Mission Statement
I have been collecting EAPG glass, depression glass, and other types of glass for a number of years. I have recently decided it is time to sell a large part of this collection.
The majority of my collection was acquired in various tag and estate auction sales in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Notes/Comments on Vintage Glass
My items are available for sale in an "As Is" condition. All the glass being sold is vintage. This means the glass pieces were manufactured between 1890 and 1960 unless stated otherwise (most pieces were manufactured from 1900 to 1940). The glass being sold is USED, it is not NEW. In many cases the quality of the glass does not equal what is being manufactured today. The manufacturing methods were not modern. The result of these manufacturing methods is they item may have:
"Straw Marks"
Rough Edges
Bubbles
Mold Marks
Other Discontinuities
These items are not usually found in modern glass. These are to be EXPECTED in vintage glass. Also this glass was probably used at the kitchen or dining room table, it was then washed. It may have been taken in and out of the ice box or refrigerator. The results of these actions are that many of the pieces may exhibit surface scratches or other type of wear discontinuities.
I will attempt to identity any discontinuities found in  the glass, by describing the discontinuities and if possible showing them in my pictures (not always an easy thing to accomplish).
Fact:
I am not a glass expert. I will do my best to describe the glass and identify discontinuities. It is possible I might describe a condition different than you would describe it. It is also possible in some cases we would both look at things differently.
Read my description carefully. Look at the pictures carefully. Utilize the blowup the zoom feature. In doubt ask a question. This may help us both to "see" what the other one sees. Neither of us wants to have an item to have to be returned. NOBODY WINS.
