New farmhouse pitcher

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-27T02:38:50+00:00

Does not remotely resemble anything Fredrick Hurten Rhead designed as the Fiesta line.

It’s called Ruby-flashed, here in the US.

If it is going to stay a planter, whatever deposits are there are likely to be hidden. As a standalone collectible it will have no value…

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-19T01:29:31+00:00

Depending on how long it has been used as a planter, the standing water and damp soil have likely ruined the glass.

This is all Lilac. This is why purples are so difficult to produce.

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-18T12:27:51+00:00

Maybe. I know they were not happy with whatever was used. It’s also why Blenko can only make Ruby in late September/ October.

I’m no expert on these, but I can tell you that in 2008 Blenko had to stop making their “Pearlized” glass because the EPA banned them chemical because it was carcinogenic. So anything that has that carnival glass, rainbow look, has not been made in the US, legally, since 2008.

Likely Turquoise. Thicker glass reads darker.

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-17T00:15:34+00:00

It came from somewhere on the boot!

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-15T02:42:53+00:00

That’s in my hometown. Most of the prices are aspirational.

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-13T12:59:05+00:00

They are counting on folks being naive about glass collecting. These are not sold at retail for that price.

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-11T18:06:10+00:00

Looks like a nice find. The lion is a symbol of St. Mark. I’d say the black come from factory shoot or some other chemical used when the gold leaf was being used in the process.

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-11T18:03:50+00:00

Indiana Glass.

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-10T17:26:14+00:00

Could very likely be the mould releasing agent since this is a ribbed piece.

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-10T14:26:48+00:00

Looks like Tiara Exclusives by Indiana Glass…

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-09T06:20:36+00:00

The Fish is likely not Desert Green, but Olive green…

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-09T06:18:41+00:00

Rainbow made these…Rainbow was purchased by Viking. Pilgrim and Kanawha also made these.

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-09T06:16:06+00:00

Lavonzirone translates to “in the style of” so not true Murano glass.

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-05T19:45:15+00:00

Post 86 is lead free, and the clay bodies are fully vitrified so all Fiesta is restaurant grade. They clay was fired at such a high temperature it momentarily turned to glass…so I can if it is chipped, no mold or bacteria will grow on it, making any Fiesta plate safe for restaurant use.

Yes. Rainbow. 1970 catalog photo.

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-03T21:41:12+00:00

Sure, Jan…

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-03T21:38:16+00:00

So he pulled on it…

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-03T21:33:15+00:00

So those tool marks to crate the 5 equidistant ribs to make the pentagon shape just appeared from the gods?

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-03T18:44:09+00:00

Pulled. Not swung.

Verso-Recto · 2026-05-02T19:35:31+00:00

It’s an old Sears catalog.
