..Hand blown...rough pontil scar on bottom....crude drippy handle...gnarly "pour spout" extending from mouth....9 3/4"tall....beautiful deep cobalt blue....Perfect condition with no chips or damage. This vase pitcher is a tribute to the Battle of Bunker Hill. John Stark, Colonel William Prescott, General Israel Putnam were all heroes of the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17,1775 at the very start of the American Revolution.  This rare cobalt blue hand blown pitcher was made by New Hampshire folk artist John Harko, 1906-1997. He had been a boxing champion and had other jobs before turning to glassblowing as a hobby when he retired. John built his first glass furance in 1973 and blew glass until his death in 1997. He used sand from Massabesic Lake to create his unique glass works of art. Each pitcher he made was different using the patriotic themes of U.S Presidents and freedom. He never sold his creations,  but instead just gave them away to friends and acquaintances. That is why they are so scarce and highly sought after today. ....THIS IS A FIXED PRICE, BUY IT NOW ITEM FOR SALE IN OUR STORE....
