Richards & Hartley No. 525 – Proud Lion Pitcher
01 Wednesday Aug 2018
Posted in Richards & Hartley
I have a small collection of vintage glass lion items. I have Gillinder and Fostoria pieces and have long been seeking a piece from Richards & Hartley, 
a company from Tarentum, Pennsylvania. I gather that the piece was introduced in the 1880s.
I came across this piece on a recent trip to Boston. First time I have seen the pattern in the wild. It was larger than I wanted, but I couldn’t take a pass.
The pattern is called Proud Lion and is also known as Tiny Lion.
The lion’s features aren’t particularly detailed, but it is a grand piece!

Another pretty example, this time with hand painted details. I see in my book Westmoreland Glass: 1950-1984 by Lorraine Kovar, that this vase is item #37, but I don’t know if that is the author’s numbering or Westmoreland’s.
It is hard to see in such a small photo, but the roses, bows and foliage are the same with the minor differences resulting from different artisans doing the painting.
Very pretty.

This cute milk glass sugar bowl showcases the ‘fruity’ details of Westmoreland’s popular Paneled Grape pattern. It was likely manufactured in the 1950s or 1960s.
The sugar bowl is considered to be the ‘small’ bowl and stands 3 3/8 inches tall, without the lid. With the lid, it stands about 5 3/4 inches to the top of the finial.
It is marked with Westmoreland’s “WG” mark.
The Paneled Grape pieces must have been common as they are not difficult to locate.
