Antique Pitcher Set?
« on: September 12, 2011, 12:39:24 pm »
I am totally new to this and have inherited a ton of glass pieces from my mother in law.  The china and silverware were easy to identify and research, but a lot of the glass lacks makers marks so I don't even know where to start!

Its really difficult to see the pattern where you had it sitting !!  Can you get a better upright shot ??

    I would start by looking into Fostoria,  They made lots with this style of handle, but so did other glass makers

Yup mart is right need a better shot try placing it on a towel that is one solid color ( white or cream) it will help show any pattern or design , or roll a piece of paper into a cylinder shape and place it in the pitcher and take photos the paper will help show detail of the pattern like this

I played with it a bit (ignore the color change, it just seems to help bring out detail). See if this helps any until a clearer pic is available.
