Mid-Century Hand-Blown Amber Glass Cruet Jug with Stopper, Applied Handle/Spout
$45.00 USD

This delightful tiny amber glass cruet jug is a charming example of mid-century hand-blown glassware, perfect for adding a touch of vintage elegance to your kitchen, dining table, or collection. The bulbous body tapers into a gracefully curved spout reminiscent of a swan neck, allowing for easy pouring of oils, vinegars, syrups, or other condiments. An applied loop handle provides comfortable grip, while the all-glass stopper ensures a secure seal to preserve contents. The warm amber hue not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also offers natural UV protection for light-sensitive liquids like olive oil.

Crafted using traditional glassblowing techniques, this piece features scattered air bubbles throughout the glass—hallmarks of artisanal production that give it unique character. The base shows what appears to be a pontil mark (a rough scar from the glassblower's rod), further indicating it was hand-formed rather than machine-made. At just 5.75 inches tall, it's compact yet functional, making it ideal for small spaces or as a decorative accent in a retro-themed home.

Material: Hand-Blown Glass (Amber-Colored)

Origin: Likely United States or Europe (possible makers include Viking, Pilgrim, or similar mid-century glassworks; no specific markings visible, consistent with artisanal pieces from the era)

Age: Circa 1950s-1970s (Mid-Century Modern style; hand-blown features like the pontil mark and air bubbles suggest production before mass-manufacturing dominated, though reproductions exist)

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The glass is smooth and glossy with natural imperfections such as air bubbles and minor surface irregularities typical of hand-blown glass. The pontil mark on the base appears rough, confirming free-blown craftsmanship. Handle and spout are securely applied with no signs of detachment. Overall, very well-preserved and ready for display or use; minor wear consistent with age, but no major flaws.
