WHAT A FIND! I had Stan Weitman take a look at photos of this Beautiful Mouth-Blown, Hand-Panted Enamel Crackle Glass Pitcher and he has e-mailed me that it is most likely Czechoslovakian from the 1920's - 1940's. If undamaged, he gave me an estimate of a value of $250 - $350. It is in near mint condition with no damage that I can find, except for a tiny surface scratch on the handle from normal use. The Enamel Hand-Painted flowers are intact with extremely-slight normal age wear, for a piece from this era. The pontil has been ground to a large round smooth place on the bottom of the piece, very typical of Czechoslovakian Crackle Glass. This pitcher is heavy, and very sturdy. It can be used as a pitcher or as a lovely vase, or displayed simply on its own, as it is Magnificent. It is BEAUTIFUL in the sunlight, and would look great in a kitchen or cottage near a window. NO TWO PIECES OF HAND-MADE, MOUTH-BLOWN GLASS ARE EXACTLY ALIKE. VARIATIONS IN COLOR DISTRIBUTION, BUBBLES IN THE GLASS, AND OTHER DISTINCTIVE BLOWN-GLASS CHARACTERISTICS ARE NORMAL, AND ARE CONSIDERED A PART OF THE CHARM OF BLOWN GLASS. THESE VARIATIONS ARE NOT FLAWS. THE SAME HOLDS TRUE OF CRACKLE GLASS.
