Hi Jen,sorry I am just seeing this now at 10:35. I worked in the heat all day ate dinner came on the forum for a little while saw the grim news about Lobeycat and zonked for 2 hours.The pitcher is very nice looking I admit I have never seen this type of footed bottom before.The color is it Green, Grey or is it the lighting behind the piece.I will have to look in a few of my books for this type of applied footing.

I Forgot to ad this there is staining and wear on the bottom so thats a plus.I will look in some of my resources and get back to you either later this evening or by tomorrow evening.

Hey Steve,
It's green. I've looked a couple of my books and I saw this type of foot on a salt and a sugar bowl. Mc Kearin calls it a petaled foot.

Nice pitcher!

Thanks...
Here is a link to an auction

www.delmarvauctions.com/pa/catalog10.pdf

Check page 14 on the upper right. There is two master salts there. One has the regular flatter petaled foot and the other has a foot like this pitcher.

Well Jen I did find these from some auction catalogues I have.They are old too mid to late 1700s .These were listed as Stiegel salts.

Those are the ones I was speaking of. I could not get the larger photos, thanks for those Steve. The pitcher came from a man in Maryland so it could be that old. That would be so cool. There are not many blown pitchers around from that era in American glass. The color is a greyish green and I read that was a common color for Wistarburgh, could it possibly be from there?

I really wonder who made it. Is there any way to tell for sure? I read some where that one professor can date and place them to the exact glass house from a small piece of glass off the pontil. Wouldn't I risk damaging the piece to get some glass off or is it pretty safe?
