Vintage Westmoreland Milk Glass 'Paneled Grape' Pitcher and Tumbler Set
This is a vintage beverage service set crafted from opaque white milk glass, featuring the iconic 'Paneled Grape' pattern produced by the Westmoreland Glass Company. The set includes a large, footed water pitcher and three matching 12-ounce tall tumblers. Each piece is characterized by its high-relief molded design consisting of lush grape clusters hanging from vines and broad, detailed vine leaves. The vessels are structurally designed with a paneled or 'broken' octagonal body, where the grape motifs are centered within the vertical facets. The milk glass is of high quality, exhibiting the smooth, substantial texture and bright white opacity associated with mid-20th-century American pressed glass. The pitcher features a large, integrated handle and a prominent pouring lip, resting on a sturdy circular pedestal base. The tumblers have a slightly tapered cylindrical shape with the same paneling and grape relief. Based on stylistic elements and the popularity of this pattern, the set likely dates to the 1940s or 1950s. Regarding condition, the glass appears to have a consistent luster, though there is a visible vertical hairline fracture or deep mold seam on the front-most tumbler, which may impact structural integrity. Some surface dust and minor shelf wear on the bases are observed, typical for used glassware of this era. Westmoreland pieces typically feature a 'WG' mark on the base, though it is not visible in this orientation.
