I bought this pitcher and glasses for my daughter several years ago and have never been able to ID it. I asked her to send me a couple of pics. I can get more If needed, but I figured the shape was unique enough someone would recognize it....  reasonably heavy glass and well done...  All pieces have polished pontils if memory serves me correctly.....

The color is a little more striking, and reminds me of a color I have seen described as Arctic Blue. It falls between the colors of the two pics..... and the whole set is the same color.

TIA...  Craig

Additional images to show the profile of the pieces better, and also the undersides.

TIA for any help on this one.....

Craig, I've never seen that shape before so I'm stumped (and that's despite having a serious large jug addiction!) The colour reminds me of some of the Scandinavian glass I've seen, but the shape...

Hi Anne, Oddly... I thought the shape would be a dead giveaway for someone to ID these.....  If one of the larger "Jug Addicts" on the board is at a loss I may be in trouble here....  In person the color is very Scandinavian, I have never really know what to make of the shape......  It is really executed well.

Hopefully someone will come along that has seen it.  I have looked for around 6 years now unsuccessfully, so I am really depending on the depth of knowledge and experience here....... :thup: :thup:  :X: :X:

Just a thought, Craig... I have a small creamer size jug in a totally different shape but that colour again, which Ivo suggested a long while ago was Polish, probably Krosno. That might be another area to explore... but jugs are notoriously to pin down. :(
