There are just some things about pattern glass that are mysteries to us late comers. Why are 'milk pitchers' always + or - 7" tall is one of them. Almost all EAPG patterns had creamers or cream pitchers. So why did they need another pitcher just a wee bit larger for milk? Did they just fit up under the cow? Did they hold one udder-full? Not all EAPG patterns included a water pitcher and even fewer included both at water pitcher & a smaller milk pitcher. But lucky for you, we've got some of them here for you. |
