Gorgeous Elegant and Depression Glass Pitchers – Eye Candy!

July 5, 2022 by Kathy Leave a Comment

It was such fun last week going through my old photos of console bowls. Today let’s look at pitchers. Some patterns lack pitchers but many of the glass patterns produced for several years include one or even several pitchers. When I started this post I found more pitchers than I thought we had so this post will cover some and continue next time.

Here is a favorite, the Classic pink pitcher from Tiffin. Classic is one of several patterns that feature dancers.

Staying with elegant glass, here is the Romance etched pitcher. Romance is similar to Fostoria’s June etch; however Fostoria made Romance later and only in crystal.

Fostoria Romance Crystal Pitcher

Candlewick is probably Imperial Glass’s best known pattern. They made several pitchers, varying the size and shape. The picture is not very good but you can see the distinctive beads on the handle. This is the 400-19 pitcher.

Imperial Candlewick 400-19 Crystal Pitcher

This crackle glass pitcher is rather different from most of the glass we used to carry. It is a good example of the older style with its lid. I don’t know who made it.

Crackle Glass Pitcher with Lid Maker Unknown

This small pitcher with lid is probably a syrup pitcher. The cutting design is made by many grooves close together, a style suggesting this dates to the 1930s or before. Having a plate for the pitcher is so practical; have you ever gotten sticky syrup on your table? Note the plate design is simpler with only the leaf sprays, not the flowers or curtain motifs.

This Paneled Grape pitcher is from Westmoreland, not a personal favorite.

Paneled Grape Milk Glass Pitcher from Westmoreland

Moving to depression glass, this first pitcher is Spiral from Hocking, a very early depression glass pattern. There are a couple Spiral pitchers.

Spiral Green Pitcher from Hocking

Cameo is one of my favorite depression glass patterns in either yellow or green. We had the green pitcher which is lovely and makes a wonderful set with Cameo footed tumblers. How good this looks with Cameo bowls, goblets and tumblers.

This is the Cameo pitcher by itself. Did you see the rope design on the rim? It is similar to the one on the Spiral pitcher.

Cameo Green Pitcher with Rope Lip

There is a Cameo pitcher without the rope trim too. Until I went through my pictures I didn’t realize there are two styles! Here is the pitcher without the rope trim:

I’m enjoying going through my photos and hope you too enjoy seeing these!
