Blue Slag Glass Pitcher and Basin Set with Rose Motif

This item is a decorative pitcher and basin set, likely made of milk glass, displaying a striking blue and white coloration, characteristic of slag glass or marbled glass. The pitcher features a bulbous body and a gracefully curved spout, with a decorative handle that appears to be sculpted with swirling or rococo-style elements. The body of the pitcher is adorned with deeply molded floral designs, specifically roses and foliage, which are highlighted by the varying intensity of the blue pigmentation. The base of the pitcher is seated within a matching basin or bowl, which also exhibits molded floral patterns around its exterior rim. The overall condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear. The craftsmanship suggests a pressed glass technique, common for items produced in the late 19th to mid-20th century. The two-tone blue and white effect, where the blue seems to swirl into the white, is a notable feature enhancing its aesthetic appeal. This type of glass, 'blue slag glass', was popularized by companies such as Fenton and Westmoreland, making it indicative of an American production from the early to mid-20th century. The rose motif is a classic choice, contributing to its timeless decorative quality. The set's primary function would be decorative, or possibly for a doll's washstand, due to its smaller probable size. The smooth, glossy finish indicates good quality and careful manufacturing.
