Victorian/Edwardian Hand Painted "Bittersweet" Blue Ruffled Lip good Glass Beverage Lemonade Set - Pitcher & 4 Glasses - USA
100 years ago these were all the rage. Edwardian Era, beautiful blue glass hand painted pitcher with ruffled edge and 4 matching paneled glasses. These appears to have bittersweet berries/vine painted on them in orange, white and gold. I do not know the age of this set, these are commonly listed as Victorian Era but I think they were made after the turn of the century. It does have a very faint green glow under blacklight, especially the handle.
The set includes a pitcher with 4 matching tumbler type glasses. I have not been able to identify the maker but was told it was possibly Dugan or Northwood. This is a large heavy set. A beautiful display piece which can be used functionally as well.
Size: Pitcher 9″ h x 6.5″ w, not including handle.
Glasses: 3.75″ h x 3.25″ w, holds 8 oz
Condition*: Excellent condition, there are good a few tiny scratches/scuffs on the cups and one cup has what is either a 1/2" crack or an inclusion in the glass that looks like one. I cannot feel it with my nail so I think it may just be an inclusion. The pitcher has a few very light scratches and some wear along the widest edge of the piece - probably shelf wear from being in a curio etc. On the back side of the pitcher there is a raised mold line, part of how it was made but I wanted to point it out because it looks like a crack in the photos.
Shipping: This will ship oversized, carefully wrapped (as always) and fully insured. Cost may be lower that what is quoted. If another carrier is cheaper for your location I will use that method and refund any shipping overages.

*I check my breakable pieces very carefully under a strong light and check all the edges/handles for chips & cracks, I try to list condition as accurately as I can but that said, I am human and may miss things, please let me know if you find anything amiss with your item. I don't usually note rough spots, air bubbles or spots missing glaze that came from the creation of the piece, only defects which happened after purchase.
