Featuring 6 ovals and textured glass reminiscent of (prior to?) Ultima Thule for Iittala and Tapio Wirkkala Finland (but not controlled bubbles), this is a gorgeous, heavy midcentury pitcher. This clear glass cylindrical pitcher has a bullseye design hexagonal bulb base that reminds me of owls eyes or a bullseye. VERY atomic/space age in my opinion. In certain lighting, the glass takes on an aquamarine color. This feature is also the most UV-reactive, see photos!
For the true uranium / UV reactive glass collectors, I have a video showing this in my blacklight, both 365nm and 395nm, it reacts in both but one better than the other.
Condition: Pristine.
Makers Mark: None.
