Description
Jamestown Glass Green Seeded Milk Jug
Green Seeded Milk Jug made by Jamestown Glasshouse of 1608 in Jamestown, Virginia in the mid 1950’s. Reproduced using similar techniques and forms as glass blowers from the 17th century. Produced by Blenko Art Glass, an American company which offered a full line of early American reproductions. Jamestown Glasshouse was a division of Blenko.
In excellent condition. Hand blown, hand tooled spout, applied handle, inverted base with soft pontil mark. Measures 5.25″ tall and 5.25″ from handle to spout and weighs 1 lb.
Bottom wear heavy, indicating age approximately 60 years old. Note the intentional bubbles – part of the “seeded” glass antique look. Note the black spot on the pontil – it is a speck of charcoal from the furnace. This is often seen in authentic early American glass which Blenko faithfully reproduced. Makes a unique creamer, bar jug, or a lovely vase.
