Libbey dates back to 1818 when it was originally founded as The New England Glass Company of East Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Libbey name became associated with the company through changes of ownership; William L. Libbey and his son, Edward D. Libbey. Libbey was one of the world's largest producers of cut glass during the early part of the 21st century, employing over 200 full-time engravers in 1915, leaving behind a tremendous legacy of cut glass tableware, serving pieces, and items for the home, such as vases and lamps. Today, it is common to see examples of Libbey's brilliant cut glass products on display at museums. In 1940, when Libbey Glass was an operating division of Owens-Illinois, Modern American was introduced. To publicize this series, Hollywood motion picture studios were supplied with full sets of the glassware. The 1940 movie "No Time for Comedy" with Jimmy Stewart has a formal table adorned with crystal in the Embassy pattern. The Libbey Glass Division is still in operation and is one of the world's largest suppliers of glassware.
