This is an absolutely gorgeous tall tankard water pitcher in the King's Crown pattern by Adams Co. which became part of the US Glass company in 1891 as Factory A. This particular pitcher is the Adams Glass King's Crown and was produced in 1880. It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Actually it's so sparkly it's perfect! I cannot find a thing wrong with it and it looks as if it's never been used! Of course the very bottom of the piece where it would sit has slightly rough areas which should be expected from age and sitting on a surface, if it were smooth, it would be new! Probably kept in a china cabinet being used only on special occasions. Floresces yellow under the blacklight due to the maganese in the glass which if left in the sun, this is what makes glass turn purple. Of course this piece has been kept away from the sun all these years as it's in perfect clear condition with no purpling at all. This Pitcher measures between 11.25" and 11.5" tall. Has an applied handle and a few bubbles in the handle only which of course would be from the manufacturer. This is an absolute beauty of a piece and a must have for any Kings Crown collection!
