Glass Identification Question About Mini Pitcher Crackle in Green

by Jennifer

Hello,
I need help identifying this miniature green crackle pitcher. I believe is Chartreuse. It does have a pontil. Pitcher is 5 inches in height and about 3 inches wide. It has a pretty heart shaped top. Any help with identification of maker, year, color would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi -
I have never seen anything like this lovely piece, so I'm afraid I cannot help you. In fact, I didn't know what a Pontil was - but here is a site that will help you identify the age of the item based on the pontil mark -
"A pontil mark is a variable size and type of scar left on the base of a bottle by a pontil rod. A typical pontil rod (aka ponty or punte) was a long (4-6 feet) rod which was securely attached to the base of the just blown hot bottle (Trowbridge 1870). The rod had to be long enough so that the heat transference from the extremely hot (2000°+ F.) bottle did not reach the hands of the pontil rod holder." - More at Pontil Marks or Scars.
