Although the pitcher and tumblers are similar to other patterns by other companies, the attachment of the finial to the lid seems to be unique to Utility. A ball of glass is embedded in the top of the lid with the depth varying slightly between different lids. A significant number of lids of this pattern were retrieved from the factory dump and the most common color combination was crystal and green. Over the years I’ve acquired six sets of this pattern and all been paired with this one size of tumbler.
This is the most common of the Utility Glass Works crackle glass patterns. Most Utility pitchers can be found in a crackle glass form, except for the Cambodia Ware and Mandalay Dine patterns.
