Aquatic Etchings Decor Appraisal

Glass Pitcher with Aquatic Etchings and Cork Base

This item is a clear glass pitcher sitting on a cork base, designed for serving beverages. Its overall form is bulbous at the base, tapering gently towards the top with a graceful spout. The clear glass material allows light to pass through, revealing some iridescent reflections and what appear to be etched or relief patterns of sea creatures, specifically fish, on its body. These decorative elements suggest a potential marine or aquatic theme. The handle is made from the same clear glass, seamlessly attached to the body, and appears to be robust and ergonomically designed for pouring. The bottom of the pitcher rests within or on a circular cork base, which likely serves to protect surfaces from condensation and provide stability. Visible condition issues include some cloudiness or residue on the interior and exterior surfaces, suggesting use or possibly mineral deposits, though there are no immediate signs of cracks, chips, or significant damage. The manufacturing details are not discernible from the image; no maker's marks or signatures are visible. The style appears contemporary, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, indicating a mass-produced item rather than an antique. The craftsmanship seems standard for consumer-grade glassware, with an emphasis on functional design and simple, yet appealing, decorative motifs.
