Indiana Glass Harvest Grape 70 oz Footed and 50 similar items

Great collectible for milk glass collectors! This is the largest pitcher that was made in the Harvest pattern. Originally these pitchers were made by Colony glass, but when Indiana Glass Company was purchased by Lancaster Colony in 1957, production switched to Indiana, and it was made from an automated mold (while the previous Colony version was hand made). You can see the mold lines on this piece. It was made in milk glass until the late 1960s. The pitcher is huge! My second photo includes some common items to give a visual perspective for size. (Those items are NOT included in the sale.) The pitcher is 10 3/4 inches tall at the top of the pour spout, 9 inches wide from the handle to the lip of the pour spout and 6 inches wide across the top. The book calls it a 70 ounce pitcher. I measured and it holds 2 quarts (or a half gallon). It weighs 4 pounds and 14.8 ounces. [I will caution that other collectors have reported that when it's filled with liquid it's almost too heavy to use. When using it be sure to support it from the bottom, rather than hanging all of that weight from the handle.] It is not microwave safe. There is no damage to this gorgeous pitcher. There is a little extra glass in the mold seam at the front of the pitcher. This will be shipped by either UPS Ground or USPS Ground Advantage rate (except for International). Local delivery is always available for free to a mutually agreed upon meeting place. This cannot be shipped by UPS to a post office box. Please contact me before purchase, if you need to have it shipped to a PO Box. If actual shipping costs less than you were charged, the extra will be refunded. I am happy to answer your questions about this piece.
