True SHOW STOPPER!  Harrach Bohemia Czech Pitcher
Incredibly rare late 1800's free (hand) blown glass pitcher in gorgeous Yellow Amber & Pulled Oxblood or Pigeon Blood with Raised Gold Paint Floral Accents

Just Reduced $500 from Original List Price!  

Could not get a better mix of color & style.  The Amber & Oxblood or Pigeon Blood  as some call it with gold floral paint is quite lovely & bold.  Has a classic & rare bulbous (or melon) style pitcher with oxblood (or pigeon blood) pull from bottom to top.  Affixed with a clear handle.  Professionally crafted & fashioned by Harrach Glassworks (Bohemia Czech) with markings.  Bottom is inscribed 891/3 and B.295 but not sure what the marks mean exactly.  We are very grateful to the kind eBayer who helped us ID this gem as it is a scarce piece and we had great difficulty finding the maker.   We left prior owner's tags on pitcher and did not clean item, so you will get just as we did.

Approx: 8.75" High, 6.5"-7.5" Wide, 3.25 lbs

Acquired from a selective antique collector's estate.  Owner paid over $1,000 for the pitcher decades ago per her estate representatives.  Pitcher is in very good condition for age, but does show wear.  There are no cracks or chips, but there is a fair amount of surface wear on the bottom base surface of pitcher (as shown in pictures) & some light scratches on pitcher as well, but they do not really effect item's overall presence as a display.  We just wanted to note things, so buyer understands this is not a pristine piece.  

We tried to shoot as many pictures as we could to assist you & in different lighting.  There are lots of of old glass bubbles, waves and natural indents, but hard get them all with limited pictures.  The rim is in great shape, but there appears there was a thin gold layer of paint on edge at one time and much of that is faded away.  The raised gold tone florals are still strong and look great, but show some wear.

We've been selling a long time & have never seen one like this and we searched for weeks at online sales going back 25 years and still could not find another in this exact style and coloring.  Most melon style pitchers will have 6 or more bulbous sections, this has 4.  And, we could not find anything close to the coloring work of this piece.  We are selling 65%+ under what prior owner paid decades back, (but of course she would have had more provenance from antique dealer she obtained it from than we have). Let is know if you have questions.

We ship with extreme care! Of course there is free local pick up and we can meet to assist if you are near Indianapolis or driving through.  We do this often.  We do not require signature confirmation on most items above $100, unless you request otherwise.  Also, we have discounts with FedEx & eBay on shipping which do not always show up in eBay estimates on shipping. We try to refund what we can when there is a notable difference, but we do not know until we actually process the shipping order.
