Westmoreland Glass English Hobnail Punch Set in Mist Blue

Story

In the small town of Grapeville, Pennsylvania, Westmoreland artisans were masters of 'democratic luxury,' creating pieces that looked like high-end European crystal but were accessible to the growing American middle class.

Maker / Origin

Founded in 1889, the Westmoreland Glass Company became world-famous for its high-quality milk glass and its ability to replicate complex patterns with precision.

Condition & Value

The glass appears vibrant with no visible clouding or 'sick glass' syndrome. The sharp edges of the hobnail pattern are prone to 'flea bites' (tiny chips), so the rims should be checked carefully. A complete set with no chips is the ideal for collectors and commands the higher end of the range.
