Vintage Ruby Red Cut-to-Clear Glass Water Pitcher and Tumbler Set

This is a vintage beverage service set consisting of one large pitcher and five matching tumblers, featuring a vibrant ruby red or cranberry glass body with cut-to-clear ornamentation. The central decorative motif across all pieces is a 'Flying Geese' or 'Wild Ducks' design, where the birds are depicted in flight above marsh-like cattails. This specific frosted wheel-cut design indicates a Mid-Century style, likely produced between the 1940s and 1960s. The pitcher is bulbous with a clear, applied glass handle and a functional pouring spout, standing approximately 9-10 inches tall. The tumblers are straight-sided water glasses with the same etched motif. The color is deep and consistent, typical of high-quality flashed or stained glass of the era. Physically, the set appears well-preserved with no immediate signs of chips or cracks visible, though common for this type of glassware are minor surface scratches or 'flea bites' around the base. The etching is crisp with a frosted white appearance that provides sharp contrast against the red background. While no specific maker's mark is visible in the photo, the style is reminiscent of work by American manufacturers like Gay Fad or West Virginia Glass Company, who specialized in decorated glassware sets for mid-century households. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the uniform application of the clear handle and the depth of the wheel-cut etching.
