Pink Depression Glass Etched Pitcher

This is a vintage Depression-era glass pitcher, likely dating from the 1930s. It features a distinct pale pink or 'Rosalin' tint, a hallmark of pressed glass from that period. The body is an unusual square-sided or 'four-lobed' vessel shape resting on a small, square pedestal base. The physical construction includes a molded glass handle and a pouring spout, both integrated seamlessly into the rim. A defining feature is the wheel-etched or sandblasted floral motif on the front face, depicting stylized ferns and leaves in a vertical symmetrical arrangement. The corners are decorated with a vertical 'beaded' or stippled texture that runs from the rim to the base. Regarding condition, the glass appears clear with no visible clouding or major chips, although fine surface scratches (straw marks) typical of pressed glass may be present. There are no obvious maker's marks visible in the image, but the style is consistent with American glass manufacturers such as Federal, Hocking, or Jeanette. The craftsmanship shows typical mass-production qualities of the early 20th century, including visible mold seams along the vertical edges and handle.
