THIS RARE COVERED TWO-TONE CRACKLE GLASS #117 JUG WAS MADE BY THE TIFFIN GLASS COMPANY OF TIFFIN, OHIO DURING THE 1920?s AND 1930?s. IT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE BODY OF THE PITCHER JUG IS CRYSTAL CRACKLE GLASS AS IS THE BODY OF THE LID. THE PITCHER JUG HAS A VERY DARK GREEN DROP-OVER HANDLE THAT MATCHES THE KNOB ON THE LID. THIS DARK GREEN MAY BE TIFFIN?S KILLARNEY, OR PERHAPS A BIT DARKER. There are no cracks (other than its crackle), chips, scratches or repairs. The Pitcher and Cover are both clean, clear, and free from residue. There are a few shallow production flea bite flakes on the interior edge of the lid, a result of the flat ground production finishing of the base of the lid. The Pitcher has a ground polished pontil. You may see other Tiffin #117 Ware in CRACKLE GLASS IN COLOR, DEPRESSION TO '70'S, year 2000 Hardback Edition, by Leslie Pina, on page 17. NOTE: The values given by Ms. Pina are now some 6 years old. 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.
