Milk Pitcher, Jeannette Glass, National, Depression Glass Vintage

• Pattern:  Vintage Glass Milk Pitcher, National Pattern from Jeannette Glass, (Discontinued)
• Vintage:  1947
• Details:  This pitcher is in the much beloved pattern from Jeannette Glass called, "National", which has retained its popularity, we think because of the simplicity of the design.  It features hobbed center circles on the bottom, (some call it Hobnail), with the straight lines of the fluted panels that end up as swirls on the top rim.  The National line was never issued as a dinner or luncheon set, only drinkware, serving, and accessory pieces were included.  This piece, although a smaller Milk/Juice size pitcher, is quite heavy, but not so heavy that it's awkward to use.  The fluted panels catch the light very nicely, any piece from the "National" line will add sparkle and a retro look to your table.  It can be easily mixed with other styles.

Jeannette Bottle Works began producing bottles in the late 1887 in Jeannette, Pennsylvania. In 1889 they expanded production and changed their name to Jeannette Glass Company. They are best known for their Depression Glass, they were one of the seven major companies producing Depression Glass and issued 14 different patterns from 1928 through 1938. During the 1950's Jeannette introduced Cameo Glassware which was their version of Milk Glass. In 1961 Jeannette bought the old McKee plant and continued to produce glassware for both wholesale and retail businesses. In 1970, the company's name changed to Jeannette Corporation. They ceased production and closed the factory in 1983.
