Old Quilt #500 Milk Glass Cruet
with Stopper
from Westmoreland Glass Co.
great condition to please hostess and collector
Offered here today for your enjoyment and consideration is this beautiful, vintage milk glass cruet with original stopper from the Old Quilt glassware pattern by famed US maker Westmoreland Glass Co. of Grapeville, Pennsylvania. Westmoreland cataloged the pattern as line #500 when introduced ca. 1940. It's a pattern of blocks and hobstars inspired by the glassware of the much earlier Victorian Era that continued in popularity and in production until about 1984. Our cruet stands about 5.5" tall with its stopper in place and has diameter of about 3.75" across the widest part of its bulbous body. It's a great example of mold blown glassware that sports a prominent pontil mark on its bottom from the blowing process. This specimen is not marked by the factory.
Condition here is very good with the only issues of any note being some expected roughness at the edges of the "plug" end of the stopper.
Otherwise
it's fully damage free exhibiting no chips or cracks. You'll find the piece to be free from any stain, discoloration, or hard water deposits. Pattern definition is good with milk white color strong and uniform overall. Virtually no surface wear is noted. The stopper fits well, is easily removed and inserted and does not leak. All in all this is just a fabulous item of vintage
glassware
that's ready for use on your dinner table tonight else will display beautifully in a good curio collection of fine glassware. We feel like it should easily please hostess and collector alike!

We want to make your experience with Simpler Times as easy and satisfying as possible, so please take a moment to read “the fine print” listed below.
We strive to accurately photograph and honestly describe all of our offerings, mentioning both positive and any negative aspects of our merchandise. But, being only human, we may not always provide all of the information our buyers desire. Please feel free to e-mail us with any questions concerning our merchandise or terms. We'll do our best to give you a speedy reply, but because we may not see your e-mail until late in the day please don't wait until the last minute to contact us. Your questions should be sent at least 24 hours before a listing ends to ensure a timely reply.
Because most, if not all of the goods we offer are vintage, antique, and have likely been used you should expect them to exhibit the typical and expected signs of age and prior use. We’ll do our best to describe condition and make mention of any significant or noticeable wear, but we ask that you have realistic expectations of these items and not expect them to be “like new” or pristine unless specifically described as such when listed.
We generally e-mail an invoice detailing total charges including any applicable postage within 24 hours after listing end. If you prefer to use eBay checkout and pay immediately that's fine too. Additional e-mail will be sent to acknowledge receipt of payment and to notify buyers once items have been shipped. We want you to always know the status of your order.
Transactions listed with free or fixed price shipping will normally be shipped by our choice of Priority Mail or Parcel Select service depending upon destination and weight. You may always specify your choice of carrier with the understanding that we may require additional payment for costlier express services. Please be aware that items requiring a box larger than one cubic foot will incur dimensional rates when shipped and can be significantly more costly than smaller sized shipments.
Your shipment is at our risk until physically delivered to you. At our option we may choose to insure or not to insure a shipment based on value and durability of the item in question. Refunds will
not
be made nor will returns be accepted for insured items damaged in transit. In such case a claim must be filed with the carrier. We will gladly provide any info or other help needed in that area should the need arise.
Payment is expected within seven days of purchase. We will not ship any item in advance of payment. Once payment is received your item will normally be shipped within one business day.
Saturday, Sunday, and Postal holidays are not business days.
Transactions paid on Fridays will normally ship on the following Monday.
We generally consider all sales to be final, but we will gladly accept returns if notified within 30 calendar days that an item is substantially not as described. Refunds will be issued once the item in question is back in our possession in “as sold” condition. Postage both ways will be at the buyer's expense.
We believe in eBay's feedback system. Positive feedback will be posted on your behalf once payment is received. We hope you'll do likewise once you receive your item and are satisfied.
A special word to international buyers
Because shipping rates can vary widely from one country to another, we suggest that you contact us with your shipping information in advance of bidding or buying so we may provide you with an estimate of postal costs.
