This LE Smith Amberina Moon & Stars pattern set of 3 canisters is in EUC, Excellent Used Condition. Many companies have produced this beautiful pattern since the 1880'sL. E. Smith Glass Company. -- Late 1940's -- 2004
In the late 1940's another glass maker started reproducing pressed glass for Wright Company. ( This company is the L.E. Smith Glass Company. In the '60's Moon & Star pieces started to show up in the Smith catalogs in various colors and designs.)
In 1962, the L. E, Glass Company officially contracted with Joseph Weishar of the Island Mold Company to produce some new pieces of "Moon and Star". The agreements held that the molds would remain the property of Island Mold Company and L. E. Smith would pay royalties for each piece Weishar produced for them. The L. E. Smith Glass Company never owned any of the Moon & Star molds. They only leased them from the Weishars to press Moon & Star pieces. (Most of L. E. Smith Moon and Star pieces are not marked. You will find a few pieces marked and when you do they are marked with an S with a G in the top part of the S and a C in the bottom part of the S. Smith marked pieces are hard to find.)
You can use this set as canisters or use them as decorative glass. They look on fire when the sun hits them. You will see some fine manufacturing flaws like air bubbles or lines in the glass.
