Note that the glass known as “Palace” eventually earned the nickname, “Moon & Star” because of the star-like design and round depression that took on a moon shape but only gained the “Moon and Star” name once L.G. Wright began production. L.G. Wright – 1930’s Around the mid-1930s, a glassmaker named L. G. Wright noticed a renewed interest in pattern glassware. Wright worked out a way to commission several factories to produce reproductions of some of the popular patterns from the late 1800’s. The L.G. Wright glass company never actually pressed any of their own glass items. Companies like L.E. Smith, Imperial, Fenton and more did the actual manufacturing work while L.G. Wright was noted as the maker.L.G. Wright was known as primarily producing glass patterns that other companies had already manufactured (such as Adams Glass Co's “Palace” pattern which was renewed and renamed “Moon & Star”. The L.G. Wright Company first produced the “Moon & Star” pattern in the mid to late 1930's.This was easily done by using an older existing mold or by creating a new mold to reproduce a piece. Since Wright didn’t produce their own glass, factories produced glassware that was somewhat more factory-line production that the delicate pieces previously produced by Adams. Wright was able to work out a way to not only produce “Moon and Star” A review of a 1938 inventory list shows both bowls and goblets available in the “Moon and Star” pattern. Mr. Wright sold the glassware to department stores, gift boutiques and antique dealers.

It's either renovate and repair now or it'll be gone.
