Overlay Glass Footed Pitcher - Victorian?

This pink, hand-blown pitcher was presented as Victorian. The upper part is translucent and the lower part has outer layer of glass and an added foot. It has a very rough pontil scar. I thought it had a 1950's feel, but he says Victorian. It is tall at 10 inches. Does anyone have search terms that I can use or can you speculate about the time or place of creation? I would appreciate any input. I don't know how to look for it.

 

Some Victorian opaline glass was crimped and worked like this so it is certainly possible, but I agree with you it does have more of a 50's vibe. It's got quite a unique look so hopefully someone might recognise it and be able to give you an accurate answer.

 

I have done some research. I tried pink milk glass; milk glass + pontil. Do you see any seam's on this? The pontil makes me think old, but the pitcher makes me think newer. I am sure that help will be on the way soon.

 

I don't think that's a typically Victorian colour, it's too greyish a pink, if that makes sense.

 

I don't take sellers' statements for fact, as I don't know their source of information. I buy what I like or am interested in knowing about as it becomes part of my home. The lead of Victorian opaline is very helpful. I completely rely on the collective mind here for trying to figure out various pieces. I very much appreciate you looking at this piece and providing me with your thoughts.

 

Thanks so much David. I will try pink milk glass too. I don't know when polishing pontil scars became popular, but that's an interesting approach. No seams. Just lines on the surface like the lines on the throat of a flower.

 

I know what you mean. More subdued.

 

First instances around 1780 on English drinking glasses, common from 1800 onwards with the advent of powered grinding equipment.

 

Excellent information! Thank you very much!

 

My take on the pitcher, 20th century after 1930. No bets, however. Never mind the pontil all it proves is that it was once "stuck up."

 

Thanks so much for weighing in. I've looked and looked and haven't found anything like it yet.
