Retro Red Glass Pitcher with Green Handle

Vibrant Form with Optic Blown Texture

£23.00

VAT included. Sold under the margin scheme for second-hand goods — no VAT is shown separately.

A charming and eye-catching glass pitcher from the retro era. The round, chubby body is blown in intense red glass with a beautifully textured, optic blown surface. As a playful contrast, the pitcher features a sturdy, applied handle in clear green glass. A delightful pop of color that works just as well as a water pitcher on a set table as a standalone decorative piece.

The story of this object

Vibrant contrasts and playful forms characterize much of the art and utility glass from the second half of the 20th century. Combining bold colors, such as red and green, in this way was a popular method for creating expressive everyday objects in both Europe and the USA during the mid-century period.
