Hi All,
I am hoping that perhaps someone could help me, or at least point me in the right direction, with an ID. I am attaching some pics of a Pitcher and Tumbler I picked up last weekend that have me stumped. The pieces are cased in a fairly deep apricot to crystal dieway over opal glass. The decoration is extremely well done and appears to be a high gloss enamel. There is a ground and polished pontil mark on the pitcher. The cloverleaf top is what really has me stumped.
The coloration is very similar to Phoenix, Webb and even some S&W pieces I have seen, as is the applied reeded handle. However, the only cloverleaf top I have ever seen was on a West Virginia Glass opalescent pitcher and I am not familiar with any cased glass from West Virginia. By the way, the tumbler displays as a bit more pink than apricot; but, the decoration is the same and I am sure they were a set.
I have tried all of my U.S. contacts, unsucessfully I'm afraid, so I'm thinking probably not of U.S. origin. Leaning toward Webb. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks in Advance,
pops

Mod: Post merged with original
Well, I just reviewed my post; and, I guess I attached only the photo of the Tumbler. Guess I should read instruction before acting. Here's the Pitcher and decoration.
Thanks,

The style and color reminds me of a Harrach vase that is pictured on page 55 of the Truitts' Collectible Bohemian Glass 1880-1940. Perhaps a Harrach expert will be along soon with a definite yes or no.

Many thanks, Anita. At lease I have a direction to search now.
