Pressed glass pitcher with matching tumblers
Estimated Value
$20-$60 for the set
A clear pressed-glass beverage set consisting of one small pitcher and two matching tumblers. The pieces feature a simple molded design with vertical ribbing and a faceted or scalloped band around the midsection, typical of mass-produced domestic glassware from the mid-20th century. The pitcher has an applied loop handle and a gently flared, asymmetrical pouring lip. The tumblers are straight-sided with a slightly tapered profile and a starburst-style base pattern. The set appears utilitarian rather than luxury table glass, with no visible maker's mark or decoration beyond the molded pattern.
