Early Royal Ruby Depression Glass Pitcher

1930’s Royal Ruby Depression Glass Full Size Pitcher with Ice Lip

Early Anchor Hocking Royal Ruby Depression glass was made with thick, very dark red glass.  After the 1950’s, the Royal Ruby color was more translucent, and machine made with thin-walled glass.  This hefty 1930’s pitcher weighs 3.10 lbs. The color is very dark, could be described as ‘blood red’, but is in Anchor Hocking’s early Royal Ruby color.

Very sturdy, useful and beautiful.  Perfect for the holiday table, kitchen counter or bar. Also makes a lovely vase.

Full size Royal Ruby Depression glass pitcher measures 8.5″ tall, 9″ wide from handle to spout. Holds 80 ounces. In excellent vintage condition.  Sparkling clean.  Solid ring of bottom-wear on base caused by surface contact. Bottom-wear is expected on table glass of such weight and age.

Made of heavy, quality pressed glass in the honeycomb pattern, circa 1930’s.
