VTG Pilgrim Cranberry Glass 3x3 in. Pink vase Mouth blown Hand shaped 1970s USA

This beautiful cranberry glass vase was made by Pilgrim Glass Co. In the late 1970’s in Ceredo, West Va., USA. It is in perfect condition. This little piece is a heavy weight for its approx. size of 3 x 3 inches. It has a beautiful scalloped rim with delicately twisted blown glass around the collar of the piece. This entire piece was blown by mouth and shaped by hand an amazing piece of art. There is some texturing to the design with all of this making it an exquisite piece! Cranberry glass is very unusual because it is made by fusing solid gold with lead crystal and that gives it that beautiful pink color. Only a few of the great glass makers could achieve this. The lead crystal gives it the weight. This would be an absolutely amazing piece to add to your collection or to give as a gift. If purchased it will be very carefully and lovingly packaged to ship to you!
