Glass and Metal Iced Tea or Water Pitcher

This item is a pitcher, likely designed for serving iced tea, water, or other chilled beverages. It features a robust construction combining a clear, possibly pressed glass body with a polished silver-toned metal top and handle. The glass portion of the pitcher displays a decorative, textured pattern, consisting of vertical fluting or ribbing on the lower half that transitions into a more organic, leafy or swirling relief pattern on the upper glass body, just below the metal collar. The base of the glass appears solid and thick, suggesting stability. The metal components, including the lid, collar, and handle, are brightly polished, exhibiting some minor surface abrasions or light scratches consistent with use and cleaning, which are particularly visible on the reflective surfaces. The handle is substantial, curved, and attaches securely to the metal collar, providing a comfortable grip. The lid is fitted and includes a small, thumb-operated lever to open a pouring spout. The overall design suggests a functional yet decorative piece, possibly from the mid-20th century to contemporary, reflecting a classic yet versatile style. There are no readily visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image. The quality of the glass molding appears good, and the metalwork seems durably constructed, indicating a mid-range to higher-quality domestic item.
