Cambridge Glass 'Canterbury' Pressed Glass Stein

This item is a decorative clear glass mug or stein manufactured by the Cambridge Glass Company, specifically featuring the 'Canterbury' pattern (Pattern No. 119). The piece is constructed from heavy pressed glass with a high lead-like clarity characteristic of the mid-20th-century American Brilliant period survivors. Physically, the item stands approximately 4.5 to 5 inches tall, featuring a slightly tapered cylindrical body with a robust, thick-walled D-shaped handle attached to the side. The surface is heavily ornamented with deeply pressed intricate patterns, including stylized floral fan motifs, vertical ribbing at the top collar, and a textured wheat-like or herringbone border around the base. These facets are designed to catch and refract light, mimicking more expensive hand-cut crystal. In terms of condition, the glass appears bright with no significant clouding or 'glass sickness,' though minor surface scratches and shelf wear on the base are expected for an item of this vintage (circa 1930s-1950s). There are no visible chips or cracks in the main body or at the handle joinery. The craftsmanship is high-quality for press-molded glass, showing crisp edges in the mold design. This specific 'Canterbury' line was highly popular for its durability and formal aesthetic, making it a staple of Depression-era and mid-century American tableware.
