We were pleased to find this pretty #176, 80oz Pitcher in the Cape Cod pattern.
The Imperial Glass Company
produced this awesome piece. I think this is the most elegant of all the pitchers made in the Cape Cod Pattern. This striking pitcher is in
Undamaged Condition without chips, cracks, or mold damage.
The color is beautiful. There is none of the yellow color you sometimes find in the hard to find Imperial pieces. If you have been looking for an Elegant style Cape Cod pitcher to add to your collection, this pitcher would be perfect!
Cape Cod
- (1931-1984)
Cape Cod actually got its start in 1931, when the Quaker Oats Company contracted with Imperial to make a wafer stem as a give away in boxes of Quaker Oats. On March 22 of 1932 Cape Cod was patented by Earl W. Newton who designed the Cape Cod design. There are more then 100 pieces of the Cape Cod design. Most Cape Cod is crystal , but it can be found in other colors. The 1930s colors include Ruby, Ritz Blue (cobalt blue) and Amber. Other colors were produced in the 1960s. They include Antique Blue, Azalea, Amber and Verde Green. In 1969 and 1971 several different Cape Cod pieces were made in Amberglow and Azalea, Verde and Crystal. In 1974 and 1975 Amberglow became Sunshine Yellow. In the early to mid 60s a cigarette lighter was made in Black, Purple Slag, Ruby, and Milk Glass. Some White Milk Glass pieces such as the cookie jar have been found and are believed to have been made in the early 1950s. Imperial closed in 1984 and Cape Cod production ceased.
Collecting this pattern is fun, because of the abundance of pieces available. If you collect crystal most pieces in this pattern can be found in a moderate price range.
