Additional Comments

from Bob Bjork of Stonington, CT

As the discussion about the yellow pitcher in continuing, I have some additional comments. Firstly, the pitcher is not Loetz Tango or any other Czech Tango. Tango glass is typically made of 2 contrasting colors. The body would be one color and another strong contrasting color would be used for example as a lip wrap, foot, or prunt. The pitcher is monochrome. Also, the yellow pitcher is a bright egg yolk color whereas to my eye Tango yellow colors are not as vibrant. Another issue with the pitcher is the glass itself its coloration appears to be uneven. That is not generally true with Tango pieces.

I have previously stated that I leaned towards the pitcher being English. I currently do not have access to C. C.Manley’s book on English Victorian glass. As I recall there is an example of a bright yellow piece comparable to the pitcher. If anyone has that book let them join in the discussion.

Can someone please give me a second opinion. Is this cut perfume in the color Canterbury? I see what looks to be cobalt blue mixed with the amethyst when I look at Canterbury and can see blue tones in this perfume. Thanks
