Imperial Tiger Lily Purple Pitcher & Tumbler
Description
We went to the home of John & Ruth Phillips in 2002 while attending the conventions of Sunshine State & Tampa. After we left their beautiful home, I asked Sherry if there was anything she liked and she said "Did you see that pitcher?" and I said "Yes, isn't it awesome?". I really think that the Heavy Iris is all that and she said "No, the Tiger Lily!" too funny.
When we got home, she called Ruth and told her that if she was ever to sell the Tiger Lily, to please let her know. In 2004, Ruth called and told her she would sell it. It has pink & gold iridescence and would be tough to find a matching tumbler. Unknown at the time to me, a friend had one of three known cobalt blue Imperial Tiger Lily tumblers and after money exchanged hands, we had the matching tumbler.
