Pressed Glass Floral Pattern Pitcher or Jug

This is a clear pressed glass pitcher or jug, likely designed for serving beverages like water, juice, or iced tea. Its material is transparent glass, reflecting light in a sparkling manner due to its textured surface. The pitcher features an intricate, all-over floral pattern, deeply embossed into the exterior of the glass. The design appears to consist of various types of flowers and foliage, creating a rich relief effect. The handle is integrated seamlessly into the design, also made of clear glass, with a simple c-shape curve, allowing for a comfortable grip, as suggested by the gloved hand holding it. The rim of the pitcher has a gentle pour spout for ease of serving. The base is sturdy and somewhat thicker, possibly with a subtle ring or band detail, providing stability. There are no immediately visible manufacturer's marks or signatures, suggesting it might be an unmarked piece or the marks are on the bottom which is not clearly visible. The style, particularly the heavily embossed floral design, is characteristic of pressed glass from the late 19th to mid-20th century, often associated with EAPG (Early American Pattern Glass) or similar styles that continued into later decades. The condition appears to be very good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant fleabites discernible from the image. The glass is clear, indicating good care and minimal clouding, though minor surface wear consistent with age and use (e.g., light scratches) might be present but are not visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship showcases the ability to produce decorative and functional glass items through the pressed glass manufacturing process.
