Description

A diverse collection of clear and frosted pressed glass decorative items, comprising a pair of candlesticks, a small pitcher with metal handle and lid, a textured jar with a metal rim, and a rectangular vase with a frosted floral motif, likely from the early to mid-20th century. Key Details: * Origin/Era: Early to Mid-20th Century * Material: Pressed Glass, Metal (likely silver-plated or stainless steel) * Style: Varied, including diamond-cut patterns and frosted floral motif. Condition: General wear consistent with age and use. The metal elements on the pitcher and jar show tarnishing and some surface wear. Minor scuffs are present on the glass surfaces, but no significant chips or cracks are visible. Interesting fact: * Pressed glass, developed in the 19th century, allowed for the mass production of intricate patterns that mimicked more expensive cut glass. * Decorative glassware sets were a common household item throughout the 20th century, often used for display or special occasions. Use: Ideal for collectors of vintage glassware, or for decorative display in a home setting to add a touch of antique charm.
