Description
Here is a small jug in carnival glass made by Pilgrim Glass Company (no longer in existence) -- their only glass line ever done incarnival glass (iridized) finish
.
They made these in 17 different shapes and this round body shape is probably the most popular. It is done with a bumpy surface to reflect the many colors irridized on the mid-base blue glass. Done with a silver & gold body and gold, ribbed handle, it has a highlight with iridescent reds, around the neck. It reminds me of a ruby throated hummingbird that changes color in a shift and has also has an iridescent red neck .
Each one of these little Pilgrim-made jugs was individually mouth blown, one at a time by a glass artisan. The bottom has a pontil at the bottom to prove this one-at-a-time mouth blowing method.
Quite a collectible! it stands about 4' tall and is wide from handle to side at about 4 1/2". It shows off like a star in a window and is also darling holding small flowers - very dainty.
No damage
. Please disregard any other items in pictures - this listing is for only the Pilgrim mouth blown jug.
As I said, "quite a collectible". I was able, back in the 70's to gather a collection of at least one of all seventeen shapes and the only bud vase and now they are difficult to find. These make a fine antique glass collection with wonderful display and versatile use, as one or as a grouping. It has been praised by glass authority Glenn Thistlewood in the book, "A Century of Carnival Glass."
No chips, no cracks, no damage
. Will pack it well and ship Priority Mail with tracking and insurance
