Westmoreland Glass Jack in the Pulpit Vase
Lovely Jack in the Pulpit vase in frosted glass (not milk glass, but a frosted clear glass) with the raised Westmoreland Glass "WG" on the underside base. Measures 6 1/4 inches in height, 4 3/4 inches top width, about 3 1/2 inches in depth, with hexagonal (6 sided) base about 2 5/8 x 2 3/4 inches.
Excellent condition, no chips, cracks, crazing or scratches. You can see several bubbles in the glass. There are several spots where the frosted effect was either incomplete in manufacture, leaving the surface shiny in these areas, or perhaps these are evidence of some age wear, we don't know which. There are two of these small circular spots on the back side of the upper flower which can be seen from the front, giving the effect of there being two small clearer spots. There is also a tiny similar spot on the bottom top edge of the flower, one on a hexagonal base edge, some shininess to the surface in one top spot of the base, and shininess on the underside base where the piece sits. None of these detract, and while some are noticeable, they add to the character of the piece.
We have provided a number of images from all sides, the white hot spots are lighting reflection from the camera. It was particularly difficult to photograph the raised "WG" insignia, but we were finally able to somewhat show it by holding the piece against something dark, please be assured the desired mark is there. A great find which would made a nice addition to any collection of Westmoreland Glass or group of Jack in the Pulpit (Jack-in-the-Pulpit) vases.
Manufacturer: Westmoreland Glass Company
