With the news and recent post of the Sandor Fuss acquisition (read: Stunning Historic Pitcher added to Fuss Collection) of an early American free-blown Connecticut Pitcher, I went a litter deeper on-line to find similar examples. Most so far are with the provenance of George S. McKearin and are on display at the Corning Museum of Glass.
