Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a description of significant accounting policies not listed below. Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Libbey Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Libbey or the Company). Our fiscal year end is December 31 st . All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates. Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations Net sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include revenue earned when products are shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Revenue is recorded net of returns, discounts and incentives offered to customers. Cost of sales includes cost to manufacture and/or purchase products, warehouse, shipping and delivery costs and other costs. Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where that local currency is the functional currency, are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. The effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency is recorded in other income. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax attribute carry-forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification™ (FASB ASC) Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” requires that a valuation allowance be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined separately for each tax jurisdiction in which we conduct our operations or otherwise incur taxable income or losses. In the United States, Portugal and the Netherlands, we have recorded valuation allowances against our deferred income tax assets. See note 6 for further discussion. Stock-Based Compensation Expense We account for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” and FASB ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity — Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Stock-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. FASB ASC Topics 718 and 505-50 apply to all of our outstanding unvested stock-based payment awards. Stock-based compensation expense charged to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (dollars in thousands) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Stock-based compensation expense $ 2,515 $ 1,634 $ 4,644 $ 2,637 Reclassifications In note 11 Segments, the derivative amount in the prior year financial statements has been excluded from retained corporate costs to conform to the current year presentation. New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue From Contracts With Customers" (ASU 2014-09), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; early adoption is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, but early adoption as of January 1, 2017 is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern" (ASU 2014-15), which establishes management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period. ASU 2014-15 also provides guidance to determine whether to disclose information about relevant conditions and events when there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This update is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter; early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, "Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" (ASU 2015-03), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-07, "Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or its Equivalent)" (ASU 2015-07), which removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments for which fair values are estimated using the net asset value practical expedient provided by FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. Disclosures about investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share are limited under ASU 2015-07 to those investments for which the entity has elected to estimate the fair value using the net asset value practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective for entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with retrospective application to all periods presented. Early application is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory" (ASU 2015-11), which requires that inventory be measured at the lower of its cost or the estimated sale price, minus the costs of completing the sale, which the FASB calls the net realizable value. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We used the proceeds of the Term Loan B, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the ABL Facility, to repurchase $360.0 million of the Senior Secured Notes, redeem the remaining $45.0 million of the Senior Secured Notes, and pay certain related fees and expenses. The above transactions included charges of $37.3 million for an early call premium and $9.1 million for the write off of the remaining financing fees from the Senior Secured Notes. These charges were considered in the computation of the loss on redemption of debt in the second quarter of 2014.

Loans comprising each CBFR (CB Floating Rate) Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate, and euro-denominated swingline borrowings (Eurocurrency Loans) bear interest calculated at the Netherlands swingline rate, as defined in the ABL Facility. The Applicable Rates for CBFR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans vary depending on our aggregate remaining availability. The Applicable Rates for CBFR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans were 0.50 percent and 1.50 percent , respectively, at June 30, 2015 . Libbey pays a quarterly Commitment Fee, as defined by the ABL Facility, on the total credit provided under the ABL Facility. The Commitment Fee was 0.25 percent at June 30, 2015 . No compensating balances are required by the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility does not require compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant unless aggregate unused availability falls below $10.0 million . If our aggregate unused ABL Facility availability were to fall below $10.0 million , the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement would be 1 :00 to 1:00. Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe have the option to increase the ABL Facility by $25.0 million . There were borrowings of $14.0 million under the ABL Facility at June 30, 2015 . There were no Libbey Glass or Libbey Europe borrowings under the ABL Facility at December 31, 2014 . Interest is payable on the last day of the interest period, which can range from one month to six months depending on the maturity of each individual borrowing on the ABL Facility. The borrowing base under the ABL Facility is determined by a monthly analysis of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The borrowing base is the sum of (a) 85 percent of eligible accounts receivable and (b) the lesser of (i) 85 percent of the net orderly liquidation value (NOLV) of eligible inventory, (ii) 65 percent of eligible inventory, or (iii) $75.0 million . At June 30, 2015 , the available total borrowing base is offset by a $0.3 million rent reserve and a $2.2 million mark-to-market reserve for natural gas contracts. The ABL Facility also provides for the issuance of up to $30.0 million of letters of credit, which are applied against the $100.0 million limit; at June 30, 2015 , $6.6 million in letters of credit were outstanding. Remaining unused availability under the ABL Facility was $76.9 million at June 30, 2015 , compared to $82.3 million at December 31, 2014 . Term Loan B and Senior Secured Notes On April 9, 2014, Libbey Glass consummated its $440.0 million Term Loan B. The net proceeds of the Term Loan B were $438.9 million , after the 0.25 percent original issue discount of $1.1 million . The Term Loan B had related fees of approximately $6.7 million that will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. The Term Loan B is evidenced by a Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated April 9, 2014 (Credit Agreement), between Libbey Glass, the Company, the domestic subsidiaries of Libbey Glass listed as guarantors therein (Subsidiary Guarantors and together with the Company, Guarantors), and the lenders. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, aggregate principal of $1.1 million is due on the last business day of each quarter. The Term Loan B bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.0 percent , subject to a LIBOR "floor" of 0.75 percent . The interest rate was 3.75 percent per year at June 30, 2015 , and will mature on April 9, 2021 . We may voluntarily prepay, in whole or in part, the Term Loan B without premium or penalty but with accrued interest. Although the Credit Agreement does not contain financial covenants, the Credit Agreement contains other covenants that restrict the ability of Libbey Glass and the Guarantors to, among other things: • incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; • pay dividends, make certain investments or other restricted payments; • create liens; • enter into affiliate transactions; • merge or consolidate, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all the assets of Libbey Glass and the Guarantors; and • transfer or sell assets. The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default as defined in the Credit Agreement, all of the outstanding Term Loan B will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. The Term Loan B and the related guarantees under the Credit Agreement are secured by (i) first priority liens on the Term Priority Collateral and (ii) second priority liens on the ABL Collateral. We had an Interest Rate Agreement in place through May 9, 2014 with respect to $45.0 million of our Senior Secured Notes as a means to manage our fixed to variable interest rate ratio. The Interest Rate Agreement effectively converted this portion of our long-term borrowings from fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. The variable interest rate for our borrowings related to the Interest Rate Agreement at May 9, 2014, excluding applicable fees, was 5.5 percent . Total remaining Senior Secured Notes not covered by the Interest Rate Agreement had a fixed interest rate of 6.875 percent per year. We settled the swap at fair value, resulting in a payment of $1.1 million on May 13, 2014. Upon the redemption of the Senior Secured Notes in the second quarter of 2014, the unamortized balance of $0.8 million of the carrying value adjustment on debt related to the Interest Rate Agreement was recognized as expense in loss on redemption of debt on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See note 9 for further discussion and the net impact recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. On April 1, 2015, we executed an interest rate swap on our Term Loan B as part of our risk management strategy to mitigate the risks involved with fluctuating interest rates. The interest rate swap will effectively convert $220.0 million of our Term Loan B debt from a variable interest rate to a 4.85 percent fixed interest rate, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. The fixed rate swap will be effective January 2016 through January 2020. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge and is accounted for under FASB ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging". See note 9 for further discussion on the interest rate swap. RMB Working Capital Loan On July 24, 2014, Libbey China entered into a RMB 20.0 million (approximately $3.3 million ) working capital loan with China Construction Bank to cover seasonal working capital needs. The working capital loan was set to mature on July 23, 2015, and had a fixed interest rate of 6.78 percent , which was paid monthly. On March 4, 2015, Libbey China prepaid the working capital loan along with accrued and unpaid interest. This obligation was secured by a mortgage lien on the Libbey China facility. AICEP Loan In July 2012, Libbey Portugal entered into a loan agreement with Agencia para Investmento Comercio Externo de Portugal, EPE (AICEP), the Portuguese Agency for investment and external trade. The amount of the loan is €3.2 million (approximately $3.5 million ) at June 30, 2015 , and has an interest rate of 0.0 percent . Semi-annual installments of principal are due beginning in January 2016 through the maturity date in July 2018. Notes Payable We have an overdraft line of credit for a maximum of €1.0 million . At June 30, 2015 , there were no borrowings under the facility, which has an interest rate of 5.80 percent . Interest with respect to the note is paid monthly. Fair Value of Borrowings The fair value of our debt has been calculated based on quoted market prices (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) for the same or similar issues. The $435.6 million outstanding on the Term Loan B had an estimated fair value of $435.1 million at June 30, 2015 and $430.1 million at December 31, 2014 . The fair value of the remainder of our debt at June 30, 2015 approximates carrying value due to variable rate on the borrowings under the ABL facility and other immaterial debt. The fair value of the remainder of our debt at December 31, 2014 approximates carrying value due to the short term nature of the RMB Working Capital Loan and other immaterial debt. Capital Resources and Liquidity Historically, cash flows generated from operations, cash on hand and our borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility have enabled us to meet our cash requirements, including capital expenditures and working capital requirements. At June 30, 2015 , we had $14.0 million borrowings under our ABL Facility and $6.6 million in letters of credit issued under that facility. As a result, we had $76.9 million of unused availability remaining under the ABL Facility at June 30, 2015 , as well as, $31.4 million of cash on hand.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges	Restructuring Charges Capacity Realignment In February 2013, we announced plans to discontinue production of certain glassware in North America and reduce manufacturing capacity at our Shreveport, Louisiana, manufacturing facility. As a result, on May 30, 2013, we ceased production of certain glassware in North America, discontinued the use of a furnace at our Shreveport, Louisiana, manufacturing plant and began relocating a portion of the production from the idled furnace to our Toledo, Ohio, and Monterrey, Mexico, locations. These activities were all within the Americas segment and were completed by March 31, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a pretax charge of $1.0 million related to other restructuring expenses. See Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for further discussion.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes For interim tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year-to-date ordinary income. Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year-to-date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded from the annualized effective tax rate. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. Our effective tax rate was 17.5 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to (4.3) percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Our effective tax rate differs from the United States statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances, earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, foreign withholding tax, accruals related to uncertain tax positions, and tax planning structures. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , we had $0.1 million and $0.4 million , respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest and penalties. Tax benefits, exclusive of interest and penalties, of $0.1 million and $0.3 million were recorded in our income tax provision for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, due to expirations of statutes of limitations. During the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded tax benefits, exclusive of interest and penalties, of $0.1 million and $0.6 million , respectively. FASB ASC 740-20, "Income Taxes - Intraperiod Tax Allocation," requires that the provision for income taxes be allocated between continuing operations and other categories of earnings (such as discontinued operations or other comprehensive income) for each tax jurisdiction. For periods in which there is a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, the tax provision is first allocated to the other categories of earnings. A related tax benefit is then recorded in continuing operations. There were no such tax benefits recorded in our income tax provision for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Tax benefits of $1.0 million and $1.6 million were recorded in our income tax provision for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. In the U.S., the Netherlands and Portugal, we have recorded either full or partial valuation allowances against our deferred income tax assets. We review the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis in order to assess the likelihood of the realization of our deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for recording or reversing a valuation allowance, we weigh all available positive and negative evidence. Examples of the evidence we consider are cumulative losses in recent years, losses expected in early future years, a history of potential tax benefits expiring unused, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that could be implemented, and whether there were unusual, infrequent or extraordinary items to be considered. At June 30, 2015, we continued to record full valuation allowances in the U.S. and the Netherlands of approximately $56.0 million and $10.0 million , respectively. While we have experienced some positive trends recently with our improved financial performance, management continues to conclude that the negative evidence outweighs the positive. If operations in the U.S. generate profits and taxable income throughout 2015 and expectations are for continued profitability for 2016 and beyond, we may have sufficient evidence to release all or a portion of our valuation allowances.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Pension and Non-pension Postretirement Benefits	Pension and Non-pension Postretirement Benefits We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees. Benefits generally are based on compensation and service for salaried employees and job grade and length of service for hourly employees. Our policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. In addition, we have an unfunded supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) that covers certain salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006. The U.S. pension plans cover the salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006 and most hourly U.S.-based employees (excluding employees hired at Shreveport after 2008 and at Toledo after September 30, 2010). Effective January 1, 2013, we ceased annual company contribution credits to the cash balance accounts in our Libbey U.S. Salaried Pension Plan and SERP. The non-U.S. pension plans cover the employees of our wholly owned subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Mexico. The plan in Mexico is primarily unfunded. The components of our net pension expense, including the SERP, are as follows: Three months ended June 30, U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Total (dollars in thousands) 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 Service cost $ 1,022 $ 807 $ 762 $ 579 $ 1,784 $ 1,386 Interest cost 3,649 3,819 1,107 1,422 4,756 5,241 Expected return on plan assets (5,668 ) (5,585 ) (638 ) (624 ) (6,306 ) (6,209 ) Amortization of unrecognized: Prior service cost 105 264 (61 ) 58 44 322 Loss 1,759 787 409 259 2,168 1,046 Pension expense $ 867 $ 92 $ 1,579 $ 1,694 $ 2,446 $ 1,786 Six months ended June 30, U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Total (dollars in thousands) 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 Service cost $ 2,183 $ 1,832 $ 1,510 $ 1,157 $ 3,693 $ 2,989 Interest cost 7,358 7,689 2,210 2,846 9,568 10,535 Expected return on plan assets (11,330 ) (11,193 ) (1,236 ) (1,256 ) (12,566 ) (12,449 ) Amortization of unrecognized: Prior service cost 209 529 (125 ) 115 84 644 Loss 3,645 2,029 815 517 4,460 2,546 Pension expense $ 2,065 $ 886 $ 3,174 $ 3,379 $ 5,239 $ 4,265 We have contributed $1.3 million and $2.7 million of cash into our pension plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively. Pension contributions for the remainder of 2015 are estimated to be $2.0 million . We provide certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering our U.S and Canadian salaried employees hired before January 1, 2004 and a majority of our union hourly employees (excluding employees hired at Shreveport after 2008 and at Toledo after September 30, 2010). Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Benefits for most hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. The U.S. non-pension postretirement plans cover the hourly and salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey (excluding those mentioned above). The non-U.S. non-pension postretirement plans cover the retirees and active employees of Libbey who are located in Canada. The postretirement benefit plans are unfunded. The provision for our non-pension postretirement benefit expense consists of the following: Three months ended June 30, U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Total (dollars in thousands) 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 Service cost $ 145 $ 251 $ 1 $ 1 $ 146 $ 252 Interest cost 609 710 10 29 619 739 Amortization of unrecognized: Prior service cost 35 35 — — 35 35 Loss / (gain) 100 67 (24 ) — 76 67 Non-pension postretirement benefit expense $ 889 $ 1,063 $ (13 ) $ 30 $ 876 $ 1,093 Six months ended June 30, U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Total (dollars in thousands) 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 Service cost $ 427 $ 503 $ 1 $ 1 $ 428 $ 504 Interest cost 1,269 1,420 29 56 1,298 1,476 Amortization of unrecognized: Prior service cost 70 70 — — 70 70 Loss / (gain) 296 134 (24 ) — 272 134 Non-pension postretirement benefit expense $ 2,062 $ 2,127 $ 6 $ 57 $ 2,068 $ 2,184 Our 2015 estimate of non-pension cash payments is $5.1 million , and we have paid $0.7 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	Derivatives We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge certain interest rate risks associated with our long-term debt, commodity price risks associated with forecasted future natural gas requirements and foreign exchange rate risks associated with transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. These derivatives, except for the foreign currency contracts and the natural gas contracts used in our Mexican manufacturing facilities, qualify for hedge accounting since the hedges are highly effective, and we have designated and documented contemporaneously the hedging relationships involving these derivative instruments. While we intend to continue to meet the conditions for hedge accounting, if hedges do not qualify as highly effective (as is the case for natural gas contracts used in our Mexico manufacturing facility) or if we do not believe that forecasted transactions would occur, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives used as hedges would be reflected in our earnings. All of these contracts were accounted for under FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.” Fair Values The following table provides the fair values of our derivative financial instruments for the periods presented: Asset Derivatives: (dollars in thousands) June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under FASB ASC 815: Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Currency contracts Prepaid and other current assets $ 116 Prepaid and other current assets $ 403 Total undesignated 116 403 Total $ 116 $ 403 Liability Derivatives: (dollars in thousands) June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments under FASB ASC 815: Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Natural gas contracts Derivative liability - current $ 1,077 Derivative liability - current $ 1,222 Natural gas contracts Other long-term liabilities 4 Other long-term liabilities 103 Interest rate contract Other long-term liabilities 11 Other long-term liabilities — Total designated 1,092 1,325 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under FASB ASC 815: Natural gas contracts Derivative liability - current 1,219 Derivative liability - current 1,431 Natural gas contracts Other long-term liabilities 18 Other long-term liabilities 112 Total undesignated 1,237 1,543 Total $ 2,329 $ 2,868 Commodity Futures Contracts We use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future North American natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures contracts is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid due to price movements in the underlying commodity. We consider our forecasted natural gas requirements in determining the quantity of natural gas to hedge. We combine the forecasts with historical observations to establish the percentage of forecast eligible to be hedged, typically ranging from 40 percent to 70 percent of our anticipated requirements, up to eighteen months in the future. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. As of June 30, 2015 , we had commodity contracts for 2,850,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas. At December 31, 2014 , we had commodity contracts for 3,850,000 million BTUs of natural gas. All of our derivatives for natural gas in the U.S. qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2015 . Hedge accounting is applied only when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting changes in fair values or anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. For hedged forecasted transactions, hedge accounting is discontinued if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable to occur, and any previously deferred gains or losses would be recorded to earnings immediately. Changes in the effective portion of the fair value of these hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. As the natural gas contracts mature, the accumulated gains (losses) for the respective contracts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to current expense in cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , we recognized a gain of $0.5 million and $0.4 million , respectively, in other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the marked-to-market change in our de-designated Mexico natural gas derivatives. These natural gas derivatives were de-designated in the fourth quarter of 2014 due to ineffectiveness created by changes in the natural gas price resulting from a fluctuating surcharge initiated by the Mexican government on the price of natural gas. As instructed under FASB ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging", all marked-to-market changes on these derivatives are being reflected in current earnings. The accumulated balance in other comprehensive income (loss) for these de-designated contracts will remain until the hedging contracts are utilized or expire. Since we have not elected hedge accounting for any new Mexico natural gas contracts entered into beginning October 1, 2014, all marked-to-market changes on these derivatives are being reflected in other income in current earnings. We recognized a gain of $0.1 million and a loss of $(0.2) million in other income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively, related to the contracts where hedge accounting was not elected. Going forward, we do not intend to designate our Mexican natural gas contracts as cash flow hedges. We received (paid) additional cash of $(1.0) million and $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 , respectively, and $(2.2) million and $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 , respectively, due to the difference between the fixed unit rate of our natural gas contracts and the variable unit rate of our natural gas cost from suppliers. Based on our current valuation, we estimate that accumulated losses currently carried in accumulated other comprehensive loss that will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months will result in $1.2 million of loss in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table provides a summary of the effective portion of derivative gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss): Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (dollars in thousands) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging relationships: Natural gas contracts $ 53 $ (124 ) $ (776 ) $ 506 Total $ 53 $ (124 ) $ (776 ) $ 506 The following table provides a summary of the effective portion of derivative gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (dollars in thousands) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Derivative: Location: Natural gas contracts Cost of sales $ (484 ) $ 349 $ (1,020 ) $ 814 Total impact on net income (loss) $ (484 ) $ 349 $ (1,020 ) $ 814 The ineffective portion of derivative loss related to the de-designated Mexico contracts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was immaterial.

The interest rate swap will effectively convert $220.0 million of our Term Loan B debt from a variable interest rate to a 4.85 percent fixed interest rate, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. The fixed rate swap will be effective January 2016 through January 2020. This interest rate swap is valued using the the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future variable cash receipts and the discounted future fixed cash payments. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. Our interest rate swap qualifies and is designated as a cash flow hedge at June 30, 2015 and accounted for under FASB ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging". Hedge accounting is applied only when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting changes in fair values or anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. For hedged forecasted transactions, hedge accounting is discontinued if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable to occur, and any previously deferred gains or losses would be recorded to earnings immediately. Changes in the effective portion of the fair value of these hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The ineffective portion, if any, of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. The following table provides a summary of the effective portion of derivative gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss): Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (dollars in thousands) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging relationships: Interest Rate Swap $ (11 ) $ — $ (11 ) $ — Total $ (11 ) $ — $ (11 ) $ — Currency Contracts Our foreign currency exposure arises from transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar primarily associated with our Canadian dollar denominated accounts receivable. We enter into a series of foreign currency contracts to sell Canadian dollars. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , we had C$6.5 million and C$6.3 million in foreign currency contracts, respectively. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. The values of these derivatives will change over time as cash receipts and payments are made and as market conditions change. Gains (losses) on derivatives that were not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in current earnings as follows: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (dollars in thousands) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Derivative: Location: Currency contracts Other income $ (361 ) $ (187 ) $ (287 ) $ (187 ) Total $ (361 ) $ (187 ) $ (287 ) $ (187 ) We do not believe we are exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in our natural gas hedges, interest rate swap and currency contracts as the counterparties are established financial institutions. The counterparties for the derivative agreements are rated BBB+ or better as of June 30, 2015 , by Standard and Poor’s.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	Segments Our reporting segments align with our regionally focused organizational structure, which we believe enables us to better serve customers across the globe. Under this structure, we report financial results for the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); U.S. Sourcing; and Other. In addition, sales and segment EBIT reflect end market reporting pursuant to which sales and related costs are included in segment EBIT based on the geographical destination of the sale. Our three reportable segments are defined below. Our operating segment that does not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment is disclosed as Other. Americas—includes sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in North and South America. EMEA—includes sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. U.S. Sourcing—includes U.S. sales of sourced ceramic dinnerware, metal tableware, hollowware, and serveware. Other —includes sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in Asia Pacific. Our measure of profit for our reportable segments is Segment Earnings before Interest and Taxes (Segment EBIT) and excludes amounts related to certain items we consider not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs and other allocations that are not considered by management when evaluating performance. We use Segment EBIT, along with net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources. Segment EBIT for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on the costs of services performed. Certain activities not related to any particular reportable segment are reported within retained corporate costs. These costs include certain headquarter, administrative and facility costs, and other costs that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reporting segments. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in note 2. We do not have any customers who represent 10 percent or more of total sales. Inter-segment sales are consummated at arm’s length and are reflected at end market reporting below.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	Fair Value FASB ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. Fair Value at Fair Value at Asset / (Liability) (dollars in thousands) June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Commodity futures natural gas contracts $ — $ (2,318 ) $ — $ (2,318 ) $ — $ (2,868 ) $ — $ (2,868 ) Currency contracts — 116 — 116 — 403 — 403 Interest rate agreement — (11 ) — (11 ) — — — — Net derivative asset (liability) $ — $ (2,213 ) $ — $ (2,213 ) $ — $ (2,465 ) $ — $ (2,465 ) The fair values of our commodity futures natural gas contracts and currency contracts are determined using observable market inputs. The fair value of our interest rate agreement is based on the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future fixed cash payments and the discounted future variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. Since these inputs are observable in active markets over the terms that the instruments are held, the derivatives are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy. We also evaluate Company and counterparty risk in determining fair values. The commodity futures natural gas contracts, interest rate agreement and currency contracts are hedges of either recorded assets or liabilities or anticipated transactions. Changes in values of the underlying hedged assets and liabilities or anticipated transactions are not reflected in the above table. The total derivative position is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: Asset / (Liability) (dollars in thousands) June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Prepaid and other current assets $ 116 $ 403 Derivative liability (2,296 ) (2,653 ) Other long-term liabilities (33 ) (215 ) Net derivative asset (liability) $ (2,213 ) $ (2,465 )

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies Legal Proceedings From time to time, we are identified as a "potentially responsible party" (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and/or similar state laws that impose liability without regard to fault for costs and damages relating to the investigation and clean-up of contamination resulting from releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. We are also subject to similar laws in some of the countries where our facilities are located. Our environmental, health, and safety department monitors compliance with applicable laws on a global basis. On October 30, 2009, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("U.S. EPA") designated Syracuse China Company ("Syracuse China"), our wholly-owned subsidiary, as one of eight PRPs with respect to the Lower Ley Creek sub-site of the Onondaga Lake Superfund site located near the ceramic dinnerware manufacturing facility that Syracuse China operated from 1995 to 2009 in Syracuse, New York. As a PRP, we may be required to pay a share of the costs of investigation and remediation of the Lower Ley Creek sub-site. U.S. EPA has completed its Remedial Investigation (RI), Feasibility Study (FS), Risk Assessment (RA) and Proposed Remedial Action Plan (PRAP). U.S. EPA issued its Record of Decision (RoD) on September 30, 2014. The RoD indicates that U.S. EPA's estimate of the undiscounted cost of remediation ranges between approximately $17.0 million (assuming local disposal of contaminated sediments is feasible) and approximately $24.8 million (assuming local disposal is not feasible). However, the RoD acknowledges that the final cost of the cleanup will depend upon the actual volume of contaminated material, the degree to which it is contaminated, and where the excavated soil and sediment is properly disposed. In connection with the General Motors Corporation bankruptcy, U.S. EPA recovered $22.0 million from Motors Liquidation Company (MLC), the successor to General Motors Corporation. If the cleanup costs do not exceed the amount recovered by U.S. EPA from MLC, Syracuse China may suffer no loss. If, and to the extent the cleanup costs exceed the amount recovered by U.S. EPA from MLC, it is not yet known whether other PRPs will be added to the current group of PRPs or how any excess costs may be allocated among the PRPs. To the extent that Syracuse China has a liability with respect to the Lower Ley Creek sub-site and to the extent the liability arose prior to our 1995 acquisition of the Syracuse China assets, the liability would be subject to the indemnification provisions contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company and The Pfaltzgraff Co. (now known as TPC-York, Inc. ("TPC York")) and certain of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, Syracuse China has notified TPC York of its claim for indemnification under the Asset Purchase Agreement. In connection with the above proceedings, an estimated environmental liability of $1.4 million and $1.0 million has been recorded in other long term liabilities and a recoverable amount of $0.8 million and $0.7 million have been recorded in other long term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Expense of $0.2 million has been recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding, we believe that it will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Insurance claim In September of 2013, Libbey had a furnace malfunction at our manufacturing facility in Toledo, Ohio, resulting in an insurance claim with the final settlement received in the fourth quarter of 2014. In conjunction with the final settlement notification received, $2.0 million was re-classed in the first quarter 2014 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows from proceeds from furnace malfunction insurance recovery within investing activities to operating activities, as this represented business interruption recovery. See Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for further discussion.

Significant Accounting Polici23

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Libbey Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Libbey or the Company). Our fiscal year end is December 31 st . All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates.
Revenue Recognition and Cost of Sales [Policy Text Block]	Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations Net sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include revenue earned when products are shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Revenue is recorded net of returns, discounts and incentives offered to customers. Cost of sales includes cost to manufacture and/or purchase products, warehouse, shipping and delivery costs and other costs.
Foreign Currency Translation [Policy Text Block]	Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where that local currency is the functional currency, are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. The effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency is recorded in other income.
Income Taxes [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax attribute carry-forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification™ (FASB ASC) Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” requires that a valuation allowance be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined separately for each tax jurisdiction in which we conduct our operations or otherwise incur taxable income or losses. In the United States, Portugal and the Netherlands, we have recorded valuation allowances against our deferred income tax assets. See note 6 for further discussion. We review the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis in order to assess the likelihood of the realization of our deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for recording or reversing a valuation allowance, we weigh all available positive and negative evidence. Examples of the evidence we consider are cumulative losses in recent years, losses expected in early future years, a history of potential tax benefits expiring unused, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that could be implemented, and whether there were unusual, infrequent or extraordinary items to be considered. FASB ASC 740-20, "Income Taxes - Intraperiod Tax Allocation," requires that the provision for income taxes be allocated between continuing operations and other categories of earnings (such as discontinued operations or other comprehensive income) for each tax jurisdiction. For periods in which there is a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, the tax provision is first allocated to the other categories of earnings. A related tax benefit is then recorded in continuing operations.
Stock-Based Compensation [Policy Text Block]	Stock-Based Compensation Expense We account for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” and FASB ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity — Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Stock-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. FASB ASC Topics 718 and 505-50 apply to all of our outstanding unvested stock-based payment awards.
New Accounting Standards [Policy Text Block]	New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue From Contracts With Customers" (ASU 2014-09), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; early adoption is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, but early adoption as of January 1, 2017 is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern" (ASU 2014-15), which establishes management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period. ASU 2014-15 also provides guidance to determine whether to disclose information about relevant conditions and events when there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This update is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter; early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, "Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" (ASU 2015-03), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-07, "Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or its Equivalent)" (ASU 2015-07), which removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments for which fair values are estimated using the net asset value practical expedient provided by FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. Disclosures about investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share are limited under ASU 2015-07 to those investments for which the entity has elected to estimate the fair value using the net asset value practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective for entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with retrospective application to all periods presented. Early application is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory" (ASU 2015-11), which requires that inventory be measured at the lower of its cost or the estimated sale price, minus the costs of completing the sale, which the FASB calls the net realizable value. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Pensions, Policy [Policy Text Block]	We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees. Benefits generally are based on compensation and service for salaried employees and job grade and length of service for hourly employees. Our policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. In addition, we have an unfunded supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) that covers certain salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006. The U.S. pension plans cover the salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006 and most hourly U.S.-based employees (excluding employees hired at Shreveport after 2008 and at Toledo after September 30, 2010). Effective January 1, 2013, we ceased annual company contribution credits to the cash balance accounts in our Libbey U.S. Salaried Pension Plan and SERP. The non-U.S. pension plans cover the employees of our wholly owned subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Mexico. The plan in Mexico is primarily unfunded.
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Nonpension Benefits, Policy [Policy Text Block]	We provide certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering our U.S and Canadian salaried employees hired before January 1, 2004 and a majority of our union hourly employees (excluding employees hired at Shreveport after 2008 and at Toledo after September 30, 2010). Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Benefits for most hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. The U.S. non-pension postretirement plans cover the hourly and salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey (excluding those mentioned above). The non-U.S. non-pension postretirement plans cover the retirees and active employees of Libbey who are located in Canada. The postretirement benefit plans are unfunded.
Earnings Per Share [Policy Text Block]	When applicable, diluted shares outstanding includes the dilutive impact of restricted stock units. Diluted shares also include the impact of eligible employee stock options, which are calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the tax-effected proceeds that hypothetically would be received from the exercise of all in-the-money options are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.
Derivatives [Policy Text Block]	Derivatives We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge certain interest rate risks associated with our long-term debt, commodity price risks associated with forecasted future natural gas requirements and foreign exchange rate risks associated with transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. These derivatives, except for the foreign currency contracts and the natural gas contracts used in our Mexican manufacturing facilities, qualify for hedge accounting since the hedges are highly effective, and we have designated and documented contemporaneously the hedging relationships involving these derivative instruments. While we intend to continue to meet the conditions for hedge accounting, if hedges do not qualify as highly effective (as is the case for natural gas contracts used in our Mexico manufacturing facility) or if we do not believe that forecasted transactions would occur, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives used as hedges would be reflected in our earnings. All of these contracts were accounted for under FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.”
Segment Reporting [Policy Text Block]	Segments Our reporting segments align with our regionally focused organizational structure, which we believe enables us to better serve customers across the globe. Under this structure, we report financial results for the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); U.S. Sourcing; and Other. In addition, sales and segment EBIT reflect end market reporting pursuant to which sales and related costs are included in segment EBIT based on the geographical destination of the sale. Our three reportable segments are defined below. Our operating segment that does not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment is disclosed as Other. Americas—includes sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in North and South America. EMEA—includes sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. U.S. Sourcing—includes U.S. sales of sourced ceramic dinnerware, metal tableware, hollowware, and serveware. Other —includes sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in Asia Pacific. Our measure of profit for our reportable segments is Segment Earnings before Interest and Taxes (Segment EBIT) and excludes amounts related to certain items we consider not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs and other allocations that are not considered by management when evaluating performance. We use Segment EBIT, along with net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources. Segment EBIT for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on the costs of services performed. Certain activities not related to any particular reportable segment are reported within retained corporate costs. These costs include certain headquarter, administrative and facility costs, and other costs that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reporting segments. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in note 2. We do not have any customers who represent 10 percent or more of total sales. Inter-segment sales are consummated at arm’s length and are reflected at end market reporting below.
Fair Value [Policy Text Block]	The fair values of our commodity futures natural gas contracts and currency contracts are determined using observable market inputs. The fair value of our interest rate agreement is based on the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future fixed cash payments and the discounted future variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. Since these inputs are observable in active markets over the terms that the instruments are held, the derivatives are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy. We also evaluate Company and counterparty risk in determining fair values. The commodity futures natural gas contracts, interest rate agreement and currency contracts are hedges of either recorded assets or liabilities or anticipated transactions. Changes in values of the underlying hedged assets and liabilities or anticipated transactions are not reflected in the above table.
