This Victorian water jug originates from the Victorian period around 1880, produced in pressed glass with a vibrant cobalt blue colour and a smooth rim. The body displays a distinct diamond pattern across its bulbous form, complemented by a solid moulded handle on the side for pouring. Below the textured main section, a narrow turned stem leads down to a circular pedestal foot with star incised decoration on the underside. Measuring 21 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 13 cm deep, this practical vessel sits comfortably within a domestic setting. Today, this piece serves as a functional water jug during meals or functions as a striking decorative accessory when placed atop a sideboard. The cobalt glass catches the ambient light, adding visual depth to a dining room or living space table arrangement. Maintenance involves simple hand washing to preserve the pressed glass finish, making it a straightforward addition to an interior display collection or table setting.

FAQs

Victorian pressed glass refers to glassware items manufactured during the 19th century using mechanical pressing techniques. Molten glass was poured into metal moulds and compressed with a plunger to create detailed geometric patterns quickly and efficiently.

Victorian glassmakers added metallic oxides to the silica glass batch to achieve distinct colours. Cobalt oxide was added to create deep blue glass, which was then poured into iron or bronze moulds to shape the vessel.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit visible mould seam lines, slight irregularities or tiny air bubbles within the glass matrix, and base wear from surface contact. Victorian pressings also feature pronounced geometric motifs, such as diamond point or hobnail patterns.

A cobalt blue glass jug functions as an accent piece on a neutral sideboard or near a window where natural light enhances its colour. It can also serve as a stem vase for floral arrangements or remain as decorative tableware.

Wash antique glass by hand using tepid water and a gentle liquid soap with a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid dishwashers and exposure to rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock and cracking.
