The deep purple glass shifts beautifully from nearly black plum at the thicker edges and hobnails to vivid amethyst and magenta where light passes through it. The dimensional hobnail surface gives the pitcher an especially sculptural presence and creates dramatic reflections throughout the glass.

A beautiful piece displayed on its own as decorative art glass, incorporated into a vintage glass collection, or used as a statement vessel.

The underside, interior, handle and surface details are shown in the photographs. No maker's mark is visible in the areas photographed, so the piece is being offered as unattributed vintage art glass rather than assigned to a specific manufacturer.

A particularly handsome example for collectors of colorful vintage glass, hobnail glass and mid-century decorative objects. See less
