Vintage Cranberry Glass Pitcher

This is a vintage hand-blown cranberry glass pitcher, characterized by its vibrant reddish-pink hue that transitions to a lighter, almost clear transparency at the base. The vessel features a bulbous body with subtle vertical optic ribbing or paneling, which provides structural interest and enhances light refraction. It is equipped with an applied clear glass C-shaped handle that is fused to the neck and shoulder of the pitcher. The rim is designed with a wide, flared pouring spout. In terms of construction, the piece shows characteristics of mid-20th-century decorative glassware, possibly in the style of manufacturers like Pilgrim or Fenton, though no specific maker's mark is visible in the image. The glass appears to be in good used condition with a smooth surface finish and no significant visible cracks or chips, although minor surface scratches consistent with age may be present upon closer physical inspection. The craftsmanship is evident in the even distribution of the color and the fluid assembly of the handle. This style was popular during the Victorian era and saw a significant revival in the mid-1900s.
