Topic: Depression Glass pitcher needs an identity - is it American?

[imaztribabe]

If someone could identify this glass pitcher, it would be greatly appreciated.  I found this in the basement at my mom's house....  Has no markings on it...

Thanks,  Lori

any info?.....  The pitcher is 5-3/4" high, and it weighs 14.4 oz..  Any clues would be greatly appreciated....  Lori

It does rather seem that we are clueless, so far.
Have you searched any Early American Pressed Glass sites? or the web for EAPG? They're not really within my remit; it is sometimes just referred to as EAPG.
Sorry I can't help more.

Sue,  thanks for the lead...  I'll give it a try... Lori

A clear image of the base might help.
Different factories had different ways of finishing off the bottoms of things and even if it looks as if there's nothing there, we can sometimes tell a lot from the sort of nothing it is.

Sue,  Ask and Ye Shall Receive....  Thanks for asking.....  Here ya go..  Lori

Thanks! I can tell from that is was made in a two piece mould, and it's a fairly complex shape for moulded glass, with all the fancy shapes on the handle. There have to be others out there, given somebody went to the trouble of creating the moulds...

I've just looked on the web myself - it's the Early American Pattern Glass Society, not Pressed Glass Society.
Doh. These might be the best folk to ask?

Not EAPG but depression glass - of which there are hundreds of patterns. Main producers were Jeannette, Indiana, Hocking, Imperial, Hazel-Atlas, Federal, McKee - too many to mention. There are a lot of our US participants who know these by heart - so maybe we should change the headline to include "depression" ?
