Vintage Bryce Glass 1960s El Rancho Pitcher

Large Bryce Glass El Ranco vintage beverage pitcher. 

Hand-formed mid-century art glass pitcher in smoke green with ice lip. This is a stunning beverage pitcher.  In the late 1950s to early 1960s, smoked colors were very popular.  What was known as "Swedish Modern Glass" was the rage.  The Scandinavian makers introduced fabulous smoked colors, which was imitated by other countries.  The Scandinavians also produced many styles imitating ice, wood and other organic surfaces, and other makers of the era followed suit.  In America, makers such as Duncan Miller, Tiffin, Bryce (to name a few) made Crinkle, Ockner, El Mexicana and El Rancho, etc.  The pattern on this pitcher matches El Rancho by Bryce Bros. Glass Co., pre 1967.  The color is beautiful. At first it appears to be an off-gray.  At closer inspection the dark moss smoke green color is evident. This large pitcher was hand-blown from mold with hand-tooled spout and applied hand-blown handle. Nice, heavy band of bottom wear matches age.  In excellent condition. Measures 9.5" tall, 7.5" from spout to handle. Weighs 3 lbs. Big pitcher holds 74 ounces. In excellent condition.
