Hi everyone. Today I have a amber glass pitcher made by Adams & Co in 1886. It is listed in the catalogues as #86...collectors refer to it as daisy and button w/ thumbprint. 9 in tall by 5 in wide and VERY heavy. Could you imagine the victorian housewife lifting this thing everyday? Enjoy.
It looks like carnival glass the color that is. It is an unusual color for EAPG.
I agree fortapache.....I think it's just the way the lighting and flash hit it. This pattern was actually available in many colors....sometimes the thumbprint corners were in a different color than the rest of the item.
I know that either Smith or Wright reproduced this pattern in a couple items...including a pitcher. It's my understanding that the reproduced pitcher is the smaller of the 2 originals. Any thoughts?
