Anchor Hocking Green Uranium Glass Ribbed Water Pitcher

This is a vintage Depression-era glass water pitcher, specifically identified as the 'Ribbed' or 'Vertical Rib' pattern manufactured by Anchor Hocking in the 1930s. The vessel is crafted from translucent 'Vaseline' or Uranium green glass, which contains a small amount of uranium oxide, causing it to glow bright neon green under ultraviolet light. Physically, the pitcher features a bulbous lower body with vertical molded flutes or ribs that taper towards the base and extend up to a defined shoulder. The upper neck has wide, flattened facets that transition into a smooth rim with a functional ice-lip spout. A large, thick C-shaped applied handle is positioned opposite the spout. The glass shows characteristic manufacturing traits of the period, including visible mold seams and occasional tiny seeds or air bubbles trapped within the material. In terms of condition, the pitcher appears to be in very good vintage state with no visible cracks or large chips on the rim or base. There is light surface wear consistent with age, particularly fine 'shelf wear' scratches on the underside of the base. The color is consistent throughout, indicative of high-quality mass production from the early American pattern glass era. No specific maker's mark is visible, which is standard for many Depression-era utility glass pieces.
