Cut Glass Creamer / Small Pitcher

The item is a clear glass creamer or small pitcher, possibly made of lead crystal given its brilliance and the sharp, intricate cut patterns. It features a body with deeply cut, starburst or pinwheel designs radiating from a central point on its side, indicative of a pressed or cut glass manufacturing process. The spout is gracefully curved, and there's a delicate handle visible on the left side of the image, suggesting its function as a pouring vessel. The base appears to be a footed design, providing stability, and also features complementary cut patterns around its rim, though these are less distinctly visible than the main body's pattern. The overall construction suggests a piece designed for table service, likely for cream, milk, or syrup. There are no clear manufacturer's marks or signatures visible in the provided image. The style of cutting, particularly the star and fan motifs, aligns with patterns popular in American Brilliant Cut Glass or European crystal from the late 19th to mid-20th century, though it could also be a more modern reproduction. The glass exhibits good clarity and refracts light well, typical of quality crystal. There are no obvious chips or cracks, but some minor surface wear or cloudiness on the base is discernible, possibly from age or repeated use and cleaning. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with precise cuts, suggesting attention to detail in its production.
