A member of this forum heritageglass is listing this very nice Clevenger mold pitcher made at the Gilson Glass works in Clayton New Jersey.

Here is a link to the glass works web page. http://glassgaffersgallery.com/index.html I have visited here and was impressed by the glass I saw first hand being made. Phil Gilson the owner also has a nice collection of early Fislerville and Moore brother documents and glass at the works. The reason I say, I may have had a hand in making this Jenny Lind pitcher is on the day I visited the glass works Phil was gracious enough to give me a nice cold Yuengling beer which when finished went into the green cullet pile.[8D] As you can see the color description in the first bottle ( the Clevenger Booz ) on this link http://glassgaffersgallery.com/index.html is Yuengling green. It pretty much matches up to the Jenny Lind pitcher being offered.These guys are making some nice glass give the site a look.

That's a cool rendition for sure. I just hope novice buyers will be good at reading the description and between the lines. I saw it for sure but a bolder font stating "this is a modern piece of glass" or something might be needed to avoid headaches and buyer remorse for less knowledgeable folk. The price I can't argue with, a lot of work and expense would go into it.
Glad you had fun down there!
