Vitro Hybrid Five-Vane Cat's Eye
Vitro Agate Company · Mid-20th Century (1950s-1960s)
Identification summary
This is a classic Vitro Agate 'Hybrid' Cat's Eye, distinguished by its five-vane internal structure. Unlike standard four-vane cat's eyes, the five-vane variety is less common and features a clear glass base with vibrant red-orange and yellow streamers. The 'Hybrid' designation refers to the presence of multiple colors within the vanes, a hallmark of Vitro's mid-century production in Parkersburg, West Virginia.
