AMERICAN GIRL SAMANTHA'S VICTORIAN LEMONADE SET
"MOSSER CHERRY GLASS PITCHER"
This listing is for the MOSSER CHERRY GLASS PITCHER from Samantha's Victorian Lemonade Set. American Girl introduced Samantha's Lemonade Set in 1987 and retired it in 2009 with Samantha's archival. The lemonade set came with 1 glass pitcher, 2 berry dishes, and 2 goblets- all of which were made by Mosser Glass Co. of Cambridge, Ohio in their Cherry and Cable pattern. The design is also called the Cherry Thumbprint pattern. The pitcher is in lovely condition with no chips or cracks. There is some light color loss on the cherries on one side.
PITCHER DETAILS
The Cherry and Cable pitcher is made out of clear glass with cherries hand-painted in transparent red paint, painted gold incised leaves, and painted gold banding trim. It's heavy glass does not easily break, but is still glass, so take caution around little children. The top edge is scalloped; the base has hobnail bump-outs; the sides have panels, the underside base is fluted. The pitcher is 4” tall x 3” diameter, not including the spout & handle.
MOSSER GLASS & AMERICAN GIRL
Mosser Glass of Cambridge, Ohio has been manufacturing quality hand pressed glass products for over 50 years. The company’s origins began in 1959 when Tom Mosser, the son of the plant manager of Cambridge Glass Company, began manufacturing glassware in an abandoned chicken coop. He founded Mosser Glass Co. in 1971. In the 1970s, Mosser created their Cherry and Cable Pattern of miniature glassware for children to play with, as well as a matching adult-sized version. The pattern is also called the 'Cherry Thumbprint Pattern with Gold Variation'. Mosser’s cherry pattern is actually a reproduction pattern based on the 1920s cherry thumbprint pattern made by Northwood Molds. Mosser hasn't made the children's miniature pieces in the cherry thumbprint pattern for many years, but made the adult-sized version as late as 2015. The adult-sized version is also now discontinued.
