This luminous beauty’s pattern, Nortec, is part of McKee’s collection of “tec” patterns. The “tec” patterns, as they have come to be known, are a line of 18 patterns all named with the suffix “tec”. In 1904, McKee was granted a patent for the Pres-Cut trademark. The trademark was used on pressed glassware that imitated the fine cut glass of the time. McKee introduced its new line with two patterns that had already been part of the line under National Glass, and later in 1904, they added Nortec, another former National Glass pattern. Often known by the popular name, Centipede, Nortec’s delightfully elegant yet unpretentious pattern consists of a 6-pointed star alternating with a reverse herringbone centipede motif. Medium is clear blown mould glass. All Pres-Cut was pressed by hand, not by machine. It measures 7” x 7” H/D; handle-to-spout width 8”; handle is applied; weight 5 lbs. ; capacity 50 oz. In excellent condition with vibrant clarity and the random inclusions that are original to the manufacturer and inherent in any glassware. A fabulous addition for an EAPG collector of gorgeous pitchers or the perfect gift for someone that is. At 116 years of age, this beauty looks pretty fabulous, wouldn’t you say!

Thanks for looking! less
