Pressed glass toothpick holder in 'Moon and Stars' pattern by L.E. Smith Glass Company

The Moon and Stars pattern was originally produced by Adams & Company in the 1870s-1880s during the American pressed glass era. L.E. Smith Glass Company of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania revived this popular pattern in the 1960s-1970s, producing it in various vibrant colors including this distinctive lime green. The pattern features raised circular 'moons' surrounded by smaller 'stars' creating a textured, decorative surface that catches and refracts light beautifully. Moon and Stars glassware remains highly collectible among vintage glass enthusiasts and mid-century modern décor collectors. These pieces are cherished for their nostalgic appeal, brilliant colors, and the way they evoke the craftsmanship of American pressed glass traditions. Collectors particularly value complete sets and unusual color variations, with lime green being one of the more sought-after hues. The pattern's enduring popularity stems from its versatility as both functional tableware and decorative accent pieces.
