Fred Press Cocktail Pitcher Mix and Match

Every once in a while I find two items that just look right together and here is a great example. Of course a set is always desirable but not always . This fab cocktail pitcher is signed by one of my favorite artist designers, Fred Press, and made by Rubel. The pitcher is from the Regal line. The "on the rocks glasses" are made by Federal Glass and is decorated in the Bahamas pattern in the Presidential shape.

Morgantown Glass Cocktail Set From the Decor Line

Sometimes you see something and you know your in the presence of Mid-century Modern greatness. This is a cocktail pitcher, six glasses and stir stick by Morgantown Glass Company from their Decor Line period. The color is "Steel Blue", although it looks more like a smokey bluish gray. Morgantown Glass Company was established in 1899 by Frank Bannister. From 1958 to 1971 Morgantown produced a line known as the "Decor Line" and pictured a fine example from that time period. The Decor Line features sleek modern design with a rainbow of colors offered for everyone's taste. The company was purchased in 1965 by Fostoria Glass Company which closed them down by 1971. Russel Wright designed a series of glassware for them called American Modern which was sold to compliment his American Modern tableware from Steubenville Pottery. In 1961 Jackie Kennedy ordered a line of crystal stemware for the White House. After that the line was known as the President's House.
