Fenton Cranberry Glass Swirl and Diamond Point Pitcher

This item is an elegant cranberry glass pitcher, likely manufactured by Fenton Art Glass. The pitcher features a vibrant, deep translucent pink hue, characteristic of gold ruby or cranberry glass formulations. Its physical construction is notable for a multi-patterned blown glass body: the neck displays a tight diagonal swirl or 'optic' ribbing that transitions into a mid-section featuring a diamond point or hobnail texture. Below the diamonds, there is a decorative band containing embossed circular rosettes and geometric patterns. The vessel is finished with a clear, applied glass handle that attaches at the rim and mid-body, featuring a decorative 'leaf' or 'crimped' terminal at the bottom attachment point. The spout is delicately formed for pouring. In terms of condition, the glass appears structurally sound with no visible cracks or major chips, although there is a slight dullness or 'cloudiness' visible in the top portion, which may indicate mineral deposits or light surface wear. Based on the style and molded patterns, this piece likely dates to the mid-20th century (circa 1940s-1960s), showcasing high-quality American craftsmanship typical of the Ohio Valley glass houses. The contrast between the rich cranberry body and the clear handle is a classic aesthetic marker for this era of collectible glassware.
