This lovely antique pitcher stands 9 1/4 inches tall


This pitcher has lightly purpled through the years


"Beginning in the 1860's, glass makers in the United States started using manganese to give glass clarity instead of lead due to lead shortages created by the Civil War. Glass containing manganese eventually turns a light purple when exposed to sunlight, a side effect that was unknown at the time that this practice started. By roughly 1915, most companies in the United States switched from manganese to selenium to maintain clearness in their glass."

AMERICAN HISTORICAL GLASS  by Bessie M. Lindsey, Charles E. Tuttle Co., 1967/1980.  


Originally published in 1948 as a two-volume series entitled 'Lore of Our Land Pictured in Glass,' the reprinting of this combined edition is a scholarly survey telling the story of America in glass.  Pictured in this comprehensive text are flasks and bottles, plates and platters, compotes, novelty items, paperweights, tumblers, match safes and holders, bowls and covered dishes, statues, sugars and creamers, and much more.  


Subjects pictured and discussed include: The Period of Discovery and Colonization; The revolutionary Period; The Period of Organization; The Period of Growth and Expansion; The Search for Better Ways; Something Beyond Substance; Presidents, Vice-Presidents, and Defeated Candidates; Heroes of the Army and Navy; Writers; The Stage; Persons Native to Other Lands; Miscellaneous Group of Persons; and  Miscellaneous Subjects Associated with Peacetime Affairs.  The captions are enlightening – the author 'chose to show just what ‘people have done’ by the historical moments commemorated on the hundreds of platters, cups, goblets, and other household items – all made of glass, much of it ‘crystal’.  Concerned with the history of the U.S., the collection has interesting and curious items covering events as far back as the discovery of America by Columbus.  Her glassware then proceeds to tell us the story of the Colonials, the development of an independent United States, and takes us through World War I.'

VICTORIAN GLASS – Specialties of the 19th Century (1830’s – 1880’s)   by Ruth Webb Lee, Charles E. Tuttle, CO, Vermont, 1944 13th-Edition.  


'In this 640 page volume are described and pictured between two and three hundred patterns in glass, not hitherto treated.  Many were taken from old trade catalogues, thus enabling the author to state accurately when and where the glass was produced.  Large and comprehensive chapters are devoted to specialties, such as nearly 500 glass hats and 500 glass slippers, as well as rarities in pattern glass, Satin glass, Victorian vases, matchholders, animal dishes, Victorian novelties and many other items. Each one of the author’s previous books has covered a specialized field in the world of glass.  'Victorian Glass' now takes its place with these ever-popular volumes, a notable contribution from one whose knowledge of glass is recognized not only in American, but in many countries of the world.  No material utilized in 'Early American Pressed Glass' appears in this volume.'  With 265 pages of illustrations, an extremely rich narrative, and a wealth of previously unpublished information on various glass types and manufacturers, this book is an indispensable reference book for the collector, dealer, or historian of early American Victorian glass.
