This delightful vintage trio of miniature crackle glass pitchers makes a stunning matched set in complementary cobalt blue, warm amber and vibrant emerald green. All three feature the classic intentional crackle texture created through thermal shock in hand-blown glass, giving them a textured, artistic appearance with fine crack patterns throughout.
- The cobalt blue pitcher stands 3.75 inches tall, with a bulbous body, applied handle, flared spout, and a possible pontil mark on the base (indicating traditional handcrafting). It has a small chip at the base of the handle (minor, stable, and disclosed for transparency; approximately 1/8 inch, not affecting structure or display appeal).
- The emerald green pitcher measures 4 inches tall, with a graceful flared neck, sturdy applied handle, rounded base, and a smooth/polished base (no visible pontil). No chips, cracks, or other damage noted.
- The amber pitcher stands 3.25 inches tall, with a bulbous and rounded body, transitioning from a warm yellow-amber hue at the top to a deeper brown-amber at the base, creating a subtle gradient effect.
Together, they offer a beautiful color contrast—rich blue, amber and deep green—for display as a trio on shelves, windowsills, or as part of a mid-century modern or colorful glassware collection. Ideal as decorative accents, small bud vases, creamers, or collector's items.
Origin: Likely American-made, mid-20th century, from hand-blown art glass studios or manufacturers such as Blenko Glass Company, Pilgrim Glass, or similar West Virginia/Pennsylvania producers renowned for colorful crackle glass pieces during the post-war era.
Age: Mid-20th century, circa 1950s-1970s (vintage, 50-70+ years old). This era saw a boom in colorful, artisan crackle glass decor in the U.S.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition overall for the trio. All pitchers retain strong, vibrant color with intact crackle patterns and no major cracks, cloudiness, scratches, or repairs. The blue one has a minor chip at the base of the handle (small and stable); the green and amber ones are flawless with no flaws noted.
Material: Hand-blown crackle glass (soda-lime base with controlled cracking for the signature textured effect). Cobalt blue, amber and emerald green hues; applied handles in matching glass.
