center> OFFERED FOR SALE (with NO RESERVE) IS THIS: VICTORIAN ERA HAND BLOWN ENAMELED CRANBERRY GLASS PITCHER & 2 TUMBLERS WITH GILT EDGING FROM AN ESTATE This pitcher and tumblers come from the estate of a recently passed 100 year old lady. The lady, Miss Rough (rhymes with plow), was never married and did not have any surviving relatives. Miss Rough passed away 6 months shy of her 101st birthday. Miss Rough lived in the Niles, Michigan area. When I visited with Miss Rough about 2 years before her passing, she told me that the glass in the china cabinet, of which this was one of the pieces, had been t for as long as she could remember. Miss Rough lived in the same house she was born in. For about the next month or so, most, if not all, of the items that we will be listing are from this estate. The pitcher has no damage whatsoever. It does have some of the gilt worn off from use over the years. The pitcher has an applied reeded handle which has no cracks or separation from the pitcher. One of the tumblers has a small chip on the outer rim. The other tumbler has a flake chip on the outer rim and roughness in several locations on the inner rim. This set was hand blown. The pitcher has a polished pontil. The tumblers have ground tops which was the way they were made. The decoration is of grapes, grape leaves, and vines around the upper section of the pieces with an Arabesque design around the bottom. The enameling of the grape leaves and the bottom design was done in the form of dots or globules which is similar to coralene. All the white enameling was applied and then the pieces were re-fired to smooth and securely bond them to the glass. The pitcher is about 8 1/2" in height and about 6" in diameter, not including the handle. The tumblers are about 3 7/8" high and about 2 3/4" in diameter at the top and 2 3/8" in diameter at the bottom. The tumblers have a nice high pitched ring when they are lightly tapped with a fingernail. The pitcher also rings well when tapped. This is an absolutely wonderful group of Victorian Art Glass. I do not know if this is American or Austro-Bohemian (European) glass. The decoration is more reflective of the latter. You will have to be the judge of its origin. I can only guarantee its age to be of the Victorian Era. If it helps, the Rough family came to America from the region of Germany in the mid-1800s. Please refer to the pictures for additional information and condition of this item. We also have other pieces of Victorian Art Glass from this same estate for sale (auction) in our other listings, including a matching finger bowl for this group. OUR OTHER EBAY LISTINGS!
