This small pitcher is rendered in Pilgrim's Rock Crystal pattern — a crinkled, textured surface that catches the Amberina color at every angle, shifting from deep red at the rim to golden amber at the base. Clear applied handle, finished pontil mark on the base. Pilgrim pieces were never marked, but the pontil, handle style, and colorway all point confidently to Pilgrim. One available.

As a miniature bud vase, a desk accent, or a collector's addition — a natural gift for an Amberina enthusiast, a West Virginia glass collector, or anyone who appreciates the craft of American hand-blown glass.

Pilgrim Glass Company was founded in 1949 in Huntington, West Virginia, and went on to become the world's largest producer of cranberry glass. It remained one of the last American glasshouses still producing genuine hand-blown art glass before closing in 2002 — pieces like this Amberina pitcher represent that vanishing tradition of American studio glass.
