Vintage Condiment/Napking Holder?
« on: January 19, 2013, 04:52:00 pm »
Just bought this item. Glass Bowls fit into holes in the wood. Glass bowls are made By Libbey Glass.  Wood is stamped "Solid American Walnut" and has what appears to be a a napkin holder built onto it.


Do you think this whole piece was an item by Libbey?  or is this a pieced together item?

People buy Vintage Libbey Glassware like crazy over here so that's one reason i bought it, the second reason is because i have never seen this set before.

Any input my good people?

told you it was a Bitsa....base was probably made by a hobbyist...or craft shop..then a wire toast rack stuck on it..then 2 x nondescript bowls added....and hey Presto...you have a Libbeys Knapkin holder... ;D
