{"product_id":"draft-red-crystal-pitcher","title":"Antique c1880 Boston \u0026 Sandwich Style Tall Cranberry Overshot Glass Water Jug 7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThis antique 19th-century cranberry overshot glass water jug dates to circa 1880 and reflects Victorian-era glassmaking in the Boston \u0026amp; Sandwich style. Hand-blown in richly colored cranberry glass, the jug features a classic overshot surface created by rolling hot glass in finely crushed glass and reheating it to soften the texture while preserving its distinctive sparkle and tactile character. The tall tapered body is finished with a defined pouring lip and a substantial clear hollow ribbed handle with a claw-style terminal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOvershot glass was widely produced during the Victorian period in England, Europe, and the United States, with the Boston \u0026amp; Sandwich Glass Company being one of the most influential makers associated with this technique. While unmarked and not attributable to a specific factory, this jug’s overshot treatment, cranberry coloration, applied handle construction, and overall proportions closely align with Boston \u0026amp; Sandwich–style wares produced during the same 19th-century era, rather than a later revival. A polished pontil mark on the base further supports traditional hand-blown antique production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth functional and decorative, this antique jug works well as a water pitcher, wine jug, or display piece. Its vivid cranberry color, strong vertical form, and period-correct construction make it especially appealing to collectors of Victorian glass, Boston \u0026amp; Sandwich–style overshot wares, and 19th-century decorative arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct Details:\u003cbr\u003eBrand: Unmarked\u003cbr\u003eManufacturer: Unknown\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: England\u003cbr\u003eEstimated Era and Date: Victorian Era, circa 1880\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Art Glass, Hand-blown\u003cbr\u003eColor: Cranberry red with clear handle\u003cbr\u003eOccasion: Table service, display, entertaining\u003cbr\u003eStyle \/ Pattern \/ Theme \/ Design Notes: Boston \u0026amp; Sandwich style; overshot glass; Victorian glassmaking; antique hand-blown production; tapered cylindrical form; hollow ribbed clear claw handle; polished pontil base\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures:\u003cbr\u003eAntique 19th-century cranberry overshot glass water jug\u003cbr\u003eBoston \u0026amp; Sandwich style design from the Victorian era\u003cbr\u003eHand-blown construction with textured overshot surface\u003cbr\u003eClear hollow ribbed handle with claw-style terminal\u003cbr\u003ePolished pontil indicating traditional antique glassmaking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003eLength: 6 in\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 3 in\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 7 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition:\u003cbr\u003eExcellent antique condition.
