The Victorian Pattern Glass Pitcher Store

     Victorians must have been strong. Otherwise they could not have lifted some of their heavy glass water pitchers when they were filled with lemonade - or water - or whatever they poured from them. The average Victorian water pitcher is 8" - 9 1/2" tall, excluding the handle. Milk pitchers were closer to 7" tall and they will have their own Store someday....   
  There were basically four variations of EAPG water pitchers:
-- Tankard shape such as Fancy Loop
-- Bulbous shaped early patterns like Barberry. Most, but not all of these had applied handles.
-- Jugs such as New Jersey and
-- Cylindrical (more or less)- like Actress

Oak is one of the very early applied handled water pitchers, perhaps by the Crystal Glass Company. It has a 3/4" chip on the handle & it is 8" tall to the top of
the handle. $165

very light pinkish tint.
$345

Pavonia aka Pineapple Stem is one of the few patterns of EAPG
that normally is actually etched. So to find a 12" tall tankard
pitcher that is engraved is remarkable. This obvious hand engraving (called #119 Wading Bird in Marsh in the literature) has
wispy leaves on the sides but in the front is a long-legged bird
with a fish in its beak, standing in 'water' (engraved lines around
the lower part of the engraved section). Spectacular! $445

'old gold/ amber' color
made by McKee ca. 1885.

preserved - as is the glass.

Shell & Tassel pattern was made by Duncan in the early 1880s. It is harder to find than the square version of the pattern
#155 & the water pitcher
is rare. It is 7 1/2" tall
and in perfect condition. $385

Starred Block aka Daisy & Button with Petticoat Band is a popular pattern made by Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton ca. 1885. This pitcher is 9" tall and has an applied handle. It is heavy, gorgeous glass. $145

Sunk Daisy aka Daisy by the Cooperative Flint Glass Co. ca1896. Everything about this 8" tall pitcher is flawless including the enamel painted decor on the daisies. $105  

Here 'ya go! A Texas pattern aka Loop with Stippled Panels made by the U S Glass Co., their pattern #15067 as part of their famous States' pattern line. You can see the unbroken little bubble in the handle but there is no damage to the glass at all. $255

Tulip with Sawtooth
This is a treasure! It is 9 1/4" to the highest point of the handle, flint, very heavy, no damage to the applied handle - just one rough spot on the base edge - which would be expected from a pitcher made ca 1854! Made by Bryce Richards. $850
Two Panel aka
Daisy in the Square
Turns out this is a milk pitcher but we'll put it here till we get that page done. It was made by Richards & Hartley ca 1880 in EAPG's characteristic apple green. It is 7 1/4" tall at mid side. $165

Here is the Two Panel aka Daisy in the
Square water pitcher
so it is an inch or so taller and wider than the green milk pitcher above. There are 2 very tiny flakes under the table ring, not seen when the pitcher is sitting. It is not cloudy - just another photography artifact that I'm so good at. $95

Wildflower was the Adams' Glass Co. pattern #140 ca 1874. It is that beautiful 'old gold' color - amber - our favorite.
$105


Willow Oak aka Oak Leaf aka Acorn & Oak (although the patterns sports no acorns!) in amber was by Bryce
Bros ca 1870s. It is
8 1/8" tall at mid side.
$88

Here's a beautiful Riverside pattern called X-Ray made ca. 1899.
What x-rays did they do then? The handle looks applied and the piece
has plenty of gilding left in its creases. Again, it
is not cloudy, just an inferior photographer. $95
