$125.00

This 19th CENTURY AMBERINA 10\" PITCHER is from our personal collection, as we begin to downsize after 30 years of collecting exquisite, high-end antiques. Amberina is glass that contains gold and reheating the glass brings some out of suspension, giving a red-ish color where it was reheated. As you can see in the pictures, the top is a rich ruby color that fades into the delicate amber. It has an exquisite hand-blown optic coin dot pattern with an appliedamber reed handle.Thepontil mark on the bottom isevidence thatit was blown freehand while the repeat optic dot pattern indicates it was done so with great skill. This is not a Fenton piece like the ones seen in flea markets and co-ops today - it is much, mucholder. The piece is in PERFECT CONDITION :)
