History

This style of glassware featuring latticinio (milk-glass thread) decoration has roots in Venetian glassmaking traditions dating back centuries, with notable production in Murano, Italy, and later adopted by other European manufacturers including Baccarat in France during the 19th century. The swirled ribbon technique creates an elegant optical effect that became popular for decorative tableware. Such pieces appeal to collectors of vintage glassware, particularly those interested in mid-century modern design and European decorative arts. The delicate craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic make these pitchers desirable for both functional use and display, valued by glass enthusiasts and interior decorators seeking elegant vintage serving pieces.
