Vintage 1950s cobalt blue glass pitcher, retro table decor carafe

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage pitcher, presented here, stands out with its generous rounded shape and integrated single-piece handle. The object is made of glass, as specified by the keywords, and features an intense, deep yet luminous cobalt blue hue. The outer surface is enlivened by wide, raised ribs, arranged horizontally around the entire visible circumference, giving the whole a strong graphic appearance, typical of mid-20th century productions.

The wide and well-designed pouring spout naturally extends the line of the neck and facilitates handling thanks to a thick, ergonomic handle. The neck opening is clean, without embellishments, and the shiny finish of the glass accentuates the color and highlights the reliefs. The interior, although not visible, suggests a continuation of the blue hue by transparency in certain areas.

The general design evokes the decorative productions of the 1950s, combining functionality and retro aesthetics. Reflections on the surface reveal a beautiful shine, a sign of careful glasswork. No added decorative motifs are visible; the piece relies on the purity of its color and the strength of its form to assert its style.

The base of the pitcher, visible in profile, has the same finish as the rest of the object, with no apparent markings on this side. The deep blue hue, homogeneous over the entire observed surface, makes this pitcher particularly decorative, whether as a serving carafe or as a table or shelf decoration element.

Condition

Used item sold as is. No visible cracks or chips on the photographed side. Possible presence of slight signs of wear or micro-scratches compatible with age and use, without altering the general appearance.
