Description

Early Amethyst Pattern Glass Pitcher Duo — Geometric Block & Daisy Motifs

This delightful two-piece amethyst pressed glass pitcher set showcases the charm and craftsmanship of early pattern glass from the turn of the 20th century. Each pitcher features a distinct geometric design—one with bold block-and-diamond panels and the other with a daisy-style hobstar motif on a pedestal base. Their soft lavender tint is characteristic of manganese-rich glass that gradually develops its amethyst tone through decades of sunlight exposure, giving each piece a uniquely luminous personality.

Together they form an appealing study in early American molded-glass artistry, perfect for collectors who enjoy both visual texture and historical flair. Whether displayed in a cabinet or used as standout accent pieces, these pitchers offer beauty, weight, character, and stories embedded in their patterns.

CONDITION

Condition is good overall with expected age-related discoloration. The smaller pitcher has a manufacturing defect at the pour spout along with some discoloring. No cracks are noted from images, though minor surface wear is consistent with pressed glass of this era. Patterns remain sharply defined, and both pieces display attractively.

DIMENSIONS

Smaller Pitcher: 7.5" H × 6.25" W (with handle & spout) × 4" diameter
Larger Pitcher: 8.75" H × 7.75" W (with handle) × 5" diameter
Soup can shown for scale in photos.
