AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A rare and stunning example of the American Brilliant Period (ABP) craftsmanship, featuring the coveted Libbey "Venetia" pattern in a beautiful and unusual smoky/amethyst color.
This substantial, elegant pitcher is a true testament to the quality and artistry of Libbey Glass, one of the most celebrated names in ABP glass. The intricate cutting showcases the depth and brilliance that define this era of glassmaking.
Maker & Pattern: Attributed to Libbey Glass Company in the sought-after "Venetia" pattern. This pattern is distinguished by its intricate combination of geometric and naturalistic motifs.
Color: Features a highly desirable smoky or amethyst-colored glass, providing a dramatic contrast against the clear, deep cuttings.
Cutting Details:The body is meticulously cut with hobstars, cross-hatching, and fan motifs, creating a dazzling play of light.
The design is dominated by the classic Venetia motif, which features a prominent central sunburst or fan-like design over a field of fine hobnails (as seen in the detail photo).
The base features a striking large rayed star cut.
The clear applied handle is facet-cut (thumb-cut) for both beauty and grip.
The rim is finished with a refined scalloped edge.
Height: 19.5 cm
Width: 15.5 cm
Diameter: 13 cm
Condition: Described as in very good condition, which is exceptionally rare for a piece of this age, making it highly collectible. No chips, cracks, or fleabites are noted.
The marriage of the complex American Brilliant Period cutting with a colored blank is particularly desirable to collectors, as the majority of ABP pieces were executed on clear glass. This Libbey Venetia pitcher is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a statement piece of turn-of-the-century American luxury glass.
Shipping with track and trace.Of course very carefully and safe packaged.Item can be picked up in Ekeren (Antwerpen,Belgium).
