Libbey Windblown Now I Know Thy Name

I have come across this pattern of Libby glass a few times and could never find the pattern name.   I identified the decoration as dandelion seeds floating through the air.  So I searched dandelion, seed, wisp, ruderal, all to no avail.  Now with the help of the catalogs on libbeyhistory.com I finally know!
Thy name is Windblown

From 1962 catalog

Libbey Resource Heaven

I am in vintage Libbey glass resource heaven now that I have discovered Libbey History!  Up to now I have relied on eBay and replacements.com to research Libbey glass patterns.  Sometimes I come up empty on both accounts because I find a pattern that is not common, hasn't sold lately, or has an official Libbey name completely unrelated to how I would describe it.
I am especially gaga over their amazing catalog page.  I don't want to admit the hours I have spend this week looking at them.
Soon I will know your name animal pilsners!!!
