Pressed Glass Pitcher and Tumbler Set

This is a set of clear, pressed glass drinkware, comprising a pitcher and five matching tumblers. The pitcher is prominently featured, displaying a complex pattern of raised designs. Its main body is adorned with large, stylized floral motifs, possibly daisies or sunflowers, centered within a larger panel. Surrounding these central panels, the glass features intricate geometric patterns, including a diamond-point or hobnail texture on the lower portion and near the rim. The rim of the pitcher is scalloped or sawtooth-edged, adding to its decorative appeal. The handle is robust, with a twisted or rope-like design, providing a secure grip. The tumblers exhibit a similar design aesthetic, with the same floral and geometric patterns, though scaled down to fit their smaller form. Each tumbler has a cylindrical shape, tapering slightly towards the bottom. The material is clear, colorless glass, typical of pressed glass production, which often simulates cut glass at a lower cost. Given the style of the patterns and the manufacturing technique, these pieces likely date from the late 19th to early 20th century, a popular period for pressed glass production. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like chips or cracks visible in the provided images, suggesting that the set is in good overall condition. Patina on glass is typically minimal beyond surface wear, but the clarity of the glass appears good, with no discernible cloudiness or devitrification. This set exemplifies the decorative and functional qualities of historical pressed glass, often collected for its intricate patterns and historical significance.
