Iridized Opalescent Art Glass Pitcher

This is a hand-blown art glass pitcher featuring a globular body, a tapered neck with a wide-flared rim, and an applied clear glass C-scroll handle. The vessel is crafted from clear glass infused with white opalescent 'spots' or 'thumbprints' scattered throughout the body, creating a visually textured effect. A notable feature is the iridized 'oil slick' or luster finish applied to the surface, which causes multicolored prismatic reflections when caught by the light. The construction suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century origin, likely influenced by traditional Moser or Fenton styles but possibly a more contemporary artisan piece. The handle is smoothly integrated into the body, showing skilled craftsmanship. The base appears rounded with a small polished pontil mark typical of hand-blown production. In terms of condition, the glass appears structurally sound with no visible cracks or deep chips, though some light surface scratches may be present on the underside from contact with surfaces. The clarity of the glass is good, and the opalescence remains vibrant and consistent throughout the piece.
