<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 62739, member: 59"]Thanks again, George. So if I understand the article that came up early in the search, "true" blurina is blue glass that is heat treated "restruck" to produce the pinkish-purplish color change on parts of the piece, leaving the blue color on the unheated part. Or is that only true of that particular maker (Hobbs?) Quite a few of the things being called blurina don't have any pink-purple (or even any color) at all, so I assume there was some other method at work on those (and that they should be called something else.) Did I get that right?</p><p><br /></p><p>The closest match for the handle on mine was seen in the Liveauctioneers hit titled "Blurina Victorian Art Glass Pitcher Lot 74." Unfortunately there was no description beyond the pictures and no maker given. I don't know whether the handle is even indicative of a particular maker or was widely used in the period. Not to mention that if I got the definition correct above, the pitcher isn't "blurina" because there is no color besides blue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
