Pilgrim Glass Cobalt Blue Fluted Doric Column Pedestal

About the Item

Wonderful Pedestal Stand in the form of a classical fluted Doric column made of mouth-blown translucent cobalt blue glass from the Masterwork Collection by Pilgrim Art Glass of West Virginia circa 1980. 36 inches high by 11.5 inches diameter. The bottom is open so it would be possible to place it over a can light if internal illumination is desired. Great for displaying a bust or other sculpture or even as a plant Stand. Can be used outdoors as well as inside. Appears opaque unless backlit. Glass is not tempered. The Pilgrim Glass Corporation was founded in 1949, when a ceramics engineer and glass-and-pottery salesman named Alfred Knobler purchased one of his suppliers, Tri-State Glass Company of Huntington, West Virginia. By 1956, Knobler had moved Pilgrim to the town of Ceredo, half-a-dozen or so miles down the Ohio River, which gives much of the vintage glass that was produced here its nickname, river glass. Before long, Pilgrim was one of the state's premier art glass and glassware manufacturers, whose ranks included Blenko, Viking, Kanawha, Fostoria, and Rainbow. There's a neat video online featuring Pilgrim at the 1964 New York Worlds Fair titled: C&P 1964 Worlds Fair WV Pavilion with Pilgrim Glass.
