Impressive American Brilliant Period Cut Glass Water Pitcher 56 fl oz Large Size
Regular price
$243.00
Presented is a lovely American Brilliant Period cut glass water pitcher. This piece is unsigned, like many ABP pieces, but the high quality of the work suggests a high end, well known maker like Hawkes, Tuthill, Dorflinger, or the like. The pitcher is beautifully and intricately cut with hob stars, fans, and panels of Russian check pattern around the sides, with a paneled and scalloped design to the neck and mouth. The pitcher will hold about 7 cups (1.66 liters/56 fluid ounces) when filled to a reasonable level, though of course it will depend on how much ice you add.
This piece is in excellent overall condition. There is some shelf wear to the underside, as you'd expect. There are no chips, no cracks, no breaks, and no repairs. No sickness or clouding to the glass.
The pitcher stands about 10 1/2 inches tall at the highest point, and measures about 8 1/2 inches from handle to spout, or about 6 1/2 inches across the body. -jm
