A very pretty pitcher, unusual color ID: L.G. Wright

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sid:
This is a pitcher made for the L. G. Wright Glass Company.  They were a wholesaler that made no glass themselves but instead hired various glass makers such as Fenton, Westmorland etc. to manufacture glass to their specification in moulds owned by Wright.

Hello,

Here are the pictures I have been working on, you can see the broken pontil and somewhat see the ring where the side meets the bottom.  Please disregard if there are pictures of turquoise jewlery, I didn't preview.

Hi, Sid,

Thanks so much,  I just want to be able to put a name to this piece.  Does anyone have an idea of a timeframe?  Does the color say '50's?  Or was that just if it was Fenton?

If I get to choose, for now, I like "Kingfisher Blue"! :D


Connie, I have learned so much from you and all others here, your generosity and interest means alot to me.  At the risk of being redundant, thanks again.    :wink:

Ivo:
I would reserve the term "kingfisher blue" to Whitefriar's products only. There is enough confusion in this world already!  :)

Bernard C:
Call it "kingfisher blue".   If someone is talking about Whitefriars Kingfisher Blue, they should capitalise it and use the full name with Whitefriars to avoid ambiguity, unless the context makes it clear.    Reserving other than patented or trademarked names, like "Ora", for example, for any one manufacturer's colour is completely unwarranted.   We would soon run out of words.

Ivo:
The only manufacturer ever to use the term Kingfisher is WF, a company of local importance whatever their fanclub wants you to believe. The term Kingfisher is corporate speak & will not be understood by people in America, Australia or on the continent, so I would always recommend to stick to uplookable conventional English.  :wink:
