Featured is a wonderful Amberina Vintage Glass Pitcher.
- 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.
- By dipping the hot glass into cold water, a crackled effect was achieved.
- After the piece was crackled, it was reheated to seal the cracks.
- Color: This is a Vintage Glass Pitcher, Amberina crackle glass.
- Design: plain hand-blown glass with a pontil mark on the bottom
