    Description

    Here is a small jug in carnival glass made by Pilgrim Glass Company (no longer in existence) -- their only  glass line ever done in
    carnival glass (iridized) finish
    .
    They made these in 17 different shapes and this round body shape is probably the most popular. It is done with a bumpy surface to reflect the many colors irridized on the mid-base blue glass.  Done with a silver & gold body and gold, ribbed handle, it has a highlight with iridescent reds, around the neck.  It reminds me of a ruby throated hummingbird that changes color in a shift and has also has an  iridescent red neck .
    Each one of these little Pilgrim-made jugs was individually mouth blown, one at a time by a glass artisan.  The bottom has a pontil at the bottom to prove this one-at-a-time mouth blowing method.
    Quite a collectible! it stands about 4' tall and is wide from handle to side at about 4 1/2". It shows off like a star in a window and is also darling holding small flowers - very dainty.
    No damage
    . Please disregard any other items in pictures - this listing is for only the Pilgrim mouth blown jug.
    As I said, "quite a collectible". I was able, back in the 70's to gather a collection of at least one of all seventeen shapes and the only bud vase and now they are difficult to find.  These make a fine antique glass collection with wonderful display and versatile use, as one or as a grouping.  It has been praised by glass authority Glenn Thistlewood in the book, "A Century of Carnival Glass."
    No chips, no cracks, no damage
    .  Will pack it well and ship Priority Mail with tracking and insurance
