    Libbey Good Old Days Pilsner Beer Glasses Band Concert NOS Sears Harmony House
    Libbey Pilsner Beer Glasses
    I am pleased to offer for your consideration a set of seven Band Concert on the Green Pilsner Glasses from "The Good Old Days" collection produced by Libbey exclusively for the Sears Harmony House line. Set had been stored in its original cardboard box and all pieces are in pristine condition.
    As an aside, I visited the Sears Archives website and found some interesting history regarding Sears Harmony House brand that I thought you might enjoy:
    "Harmony House 1940-1968. In 1940, Sears introduced the Harmony House brand as an interior-decorating scheme that used four basic colors that could be coordinated with each other. (The year before, Sears catalogs featured "Charm House," a similar program.) Customers were encouraged to use a color wheel that was supplied in the catalog for coordinating colors.
    Harmonizing colors had long been a problem for the company. For example, rose-colored draperies made by one source might clash with a rose rug produced by another manufacturer. Each factory used its own colors, and the clashes that resulted were impeding the company's sales of home furnishings.
    In response to customer demand, Sears eventually expanded Harmony House's palette to include 18 colors that they considered to be the most attractive to customers. Each color came in light, medium, and dark shades.
    Harmony House colors were: Tuscan Rose and Wine, Valley Rose, Federal Gold, Cherry Pink and Red, Jubilee Peach, Spice Beige and Brown, Colonial Blue, Sage Green, Aquamarine, Chartreuse, Dawn Gray, Mint Green, Pacific Blue, Sunshine Yellow, Parchment Ivory, Beige, and Brown, Victorian Pink, Rose, Red and Wine, and Malibu Peach, Coral and Rust.
    The Harmony House style and color system was not merely limited to carpets and paints, either; the entire house could be furnished according to the colors. Almost any household item could be bought to fit the Harmony House schemes, including: covered upholstery fabrics, draperies, slipcovers, desks, bookcases, bedroom furniture, sheets, towels, table lamps, wall paints, clothes hampers, canister sets, boudoir lamps, shower curtains, garment bags, chenille spreads, dinnerware, wallpaper, lounge chairs, dinette sets, living room sets, mirrors, carpeting, tile, and appliances."
    Antique and vintage collectible china, trendy mid-century modern dinnerware and diner china, authentic Depression Glass, elegant and vintage glassware as well as other interesting pieces I discover in my travels are always available with pieces added regularly.
