Peloton glass doesn't often turn up for sale in Australia, so I was fortunate to win this as the only bidder.
This Victorian glass jug is made from clear glass with a crackle decor, as well as very fine Peloton threads in pink, blue, white, & yellow. It measures 16 cm tall, around 12.5 cm wide across the top (including handle) & 7 cm across the rounded off four sided base.
The jug has an applied clear reeded handle & there is a neatly polished out pontil mark on the base.
In the last photo it is shown with a drinking glass in a very similar decor which has been in my collection for around 15 years. Pleased to have found it a matching companion!
Most likely Bohemian origin.
Made for each other!
Crackle and peloton, all so sugary.
Thanks so much, Karen!
So VERY beautiful!! Wonderful addition to your collection.
Much appreciated, jscott0363!
Great finds. Having the two pieces takes them to a new level as a set.
This décor is special indeed - great catch!!
I would love to walk through your collection and dream world. How beautiful this piece, you have very elegant taste and style. Lori
Many thanks, kwqd! Yes, it's always nice to make up a set, no matter how long it takes, it's just so rewarding to bring matching pieces together.
Thanks also, philmac51 - & yes, I agree, this is a particularly fine version of Peloton that's simply brimming over with texture...
Lori, that is so kind of you to say! My collection means so much to me, it's been a rock in hard times, & a labor of love, & it's wonderful to think that you find it inspiring...
