Vintage Blue Ombre Pressed Glass Starburst Water Pitcher

This is a substantial vintage water pitcher crafted from pressed glass, featuring a distinctive ombre color transitions from clear at the wavy rim to a saturated, deep cobalt blue at the base. The body is decorated with a complex, deep-cut starburst or 'pinwheel' geometric pattern that provides significant tactile texture and captures light, common in mid-century American or European glassware. The construction includes a thick, applied 'C' shaped handle that shares the blue gradient at its lower anchor point. The pitcher stands approximately 8 to 10 inches tall with a wide circular mouth and a prominent pouring lip. The glass clarity is good, showing no immediate signs of 'sick glass' or permanent clouding, though there is visible shelf wear on the bottom resting surface. The piece reflects a mid-20th-century style, likely produced between the 1950s and 1970s. While no manufacturer marks are visible in the photograph, the quality of the press and the specific starburst motif are characteristic of mass-market glassware producers of that era, such as Anchor Hocking or similar regional glassworks. The condition appears fair to good, with no major chips or structural cracks evident from the frontal view, maintaining its functional integrity and vibrant aesthetic appeal.
