I'm looking for the name of this water pitcher. It is a Libbey pitcher with the logo from the 1896-1906 period (4th picture). I was told when I bought it that it was called Pattern #83. Someone else said it was Pattern #300 ? I would've thought it would've had a more common name as a marketing tool (i.e. Raindrops ?) for those "zipper-like" cuts on the sides. At the turn of the century, who would buy a luxury item with a name #83 ?
The pitcher is 6 1/4" tall (from the table to the highest point of the spout) x 8 1/2" from the tip of the spout to the end of the handle x Upper diameter is 4 1/2" (at it's widest diameter down below is about 6 1/8"). It doesn't seem to have as "white" a color as another piece of ABP glass. Nor does it have as high a pitch ring when pinged.

Dear Robin,
Isn't "pattern glass" for "pressed glass" ? This is a Libbey cut glass water pitcher. I had another cut glass dealer/expert on eBay tell me that it is called Pattern #83. I still say that it has to have a "fancy" name so that people would buy it. They had fancy names like "Russian", "Aztec", etc. I will check out the http://www.patternglass.com too. Thanks
They have American brilliant glass too.
When do we get to see the pink glass behind your pitcher?
That's the Indiana Glass Co. "Tea Room" (Depression Glass) sugar or creamer. I haven't posted it yet That one had the caddy, but all 3 pieces were damaged. The caddy had the least damage. I was able to get a replacement creamer. Still looking for the sugar. I recently got the green ones. I also bought the pink "Cracked Ice" pattern from the same company. It reminds me of a a horror movie. It's not the best quality glass ( bubbles, straw marks), but I liked the "Art Deco" design.
I posted the another funky pair that someone was kind enough to identify for me=The Cambridge Glass Co. "Decagon" pattern w/ the "Rosalie" etching. Check out that one for now.
