Vintage Pair of Pilgrim Crackle Glass Hand Blown Balloon Goblet Vases

Large Pilgrim crackle glass vases, hand blown in the mid 20th century. This glass was hand-blown and hand-mixed. Today’s glass is computer mixed. With hand-mixed glass, the color sometimes varies a bit between batches. The smaller vase has a slight tint of blue, the larger vase is a truer forest green. In normal overhead lighting, the color mix difference does not show. As you can see, under bright light, the colors are slightly different.

Original Pilgrim Art Glass catalog number 34 & 33 brandy snifter vases in large and medium. Both Pilgrim crackle glass vases are in excellent condition. Beautiful with flowers, awesome with foliage.  You can set a plant pot inside the opening to balance on the rim. Looks great with ferns. Or use as an eye-catching tip jar or candle holder (looks awesome when light flickers through the crackle).

The solid glass stem is applied to inverted foot and fine crackled bowl. The large vase has unintentional trapped air bubbles on the foot, and a piece of ash from the furnace encased in the body. This is typical of mid-20th century hand made studio glass.

Set of two, The medium snifter vase measures 7.25″ tall, 5.5″ at widest, 15.5″ widest girth, weighs 1.5 lbs. The large measures 9.25″ tall, 7.5″ wide, 22″ widest girth, weighs 3.25 lbs. Big hefty art glass snifters.
