Hollow
Hob Pitcher |
|
We believe this to be a very
rare Victorian pitcher. Green glass shading to amethyst at the bottom.
We tried to use a white paper to show the amethyst but were not very
successful. This piece is called Hollow Hob because the hobs are hollow, i.e.
the piece was mold blown. We only found reference to this in an old antique
book on art glass. It was listed as rare then. We have never seen
another. We believe this is early Victorian or older. However there was no other information provided so we know
little about it. Height is about 8 1/4 inches. |
