Featured is a wonderful Vintage Sugar and Cream Pitcher Set in the Beaded Block pattern.
- Vintage elegant glass, also called “good glass,” is often hand-pressed, hand-molded, or hand-blown, and frequently features hand-finished bases.
- Elegant glass is made of high-quality glass, has fewer visible seams, and lacks the little
- bubbles and wrinkles found in pieces of Depression glass.
- Extra steps made the difference. For example, after a piece was shaped, it was inserted back into a “glory hole” for fire polishing, which gave it a high gloss.
- Most elegant glass was crystal, but some of it was pastel colored and translucent.
- Pattern: Imperial named this pattern, number 710, Beaded Block
- Color: This is a Depression Glass Sugar and Cream Pitcher Set in the Beaded Block pattern, crystal glass.
