This striking creamer is defined by its deep, saturated cobalt hue and a bold, architectural presence that transcends its functional origins. The light interacts dynamically with the thick-walled glass, pooling in the recessed "V" motifs to create a high-contrast sculptural effect. Its geometric silhouette and tapered body offer a clean, modernist profile that serves as a sophisticated focal point in any curated collection of 20th-century glass.
Attribution & Period
Stylistically aligned with American Art Deco (1930s).
The rhythmic, molded chevron pattern and the sharp, angular "D" handle are hallmarks of the Machine Age aesthetic prevalent in American glassware of the 1930s. The visible mold seams and the specific density of the cobalt glass are consistent with high-quality Depression-era soda-lime glass production from Ohio or West Virginia glasshouses. While no factory mark is observed, the form is emblematic of the transition from late Art Deco to early Streamline Moderne.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 4 1/2" (including spout)
Width / Diameter: 5 3/4" (including handle)
Depth / Base Diameter: 3 1/4" x 2"
Weight: 0.812 lbs
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. Clinical examination reveals no chips, cracks, or professional repairs. The glass maintains a high internal brilliance and a smooth surface luster. Minimal shelf wear is consistent with age and light decorative use.
Authenticity & Construction
This piece was produced using a multi-part pressing mold, a technique that allowed for the precise, repetitive geometric relief seen in the chevron detailing. The presence of a clean, vertical mold seam running through the handle and down the side confirms its authentic mid-century manufacturing process. The thick, heavy-bottomed construction provides significant stability and a premium tactile feel.
Placement
An ideal acquisition for a Brutalist sideboard or a minimalist glass étagère. Its intense blue pigment provides a necessary "pop" of color within a neutral, high-end interior, and it displays exceptionally well when back-lit to highlight the translucency of the molded ridges.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
