Details
This is a beautiful and authentic example of an Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) small creamer or pitcher from the Victorian era.
It features a distinctive, pronounced swirl design on the body and a twisted, applied handle. The handle was applied by hand as a separate piece of hot glass, a key indicator of its age.
The unique imperfections are part of the history and charm of this specific piece of art glass.
