Mid-Century Modern Hand-Blown Glass Pitcher with Contrast Handle

This item is a tall, hand-blown clear glass pitcher characterized by a sleek Mid-Century Modern silhouette. The body features a bulbous lower section that tapers elegantly into a long, slender neck with a flared, ice-lip spout designed for controlled pouring. Its most distinguishing feature is the applied C-scroll handle, crafted from opaque black or deep smoke-colored glass, providing a bold visual contrast to the transparent body. The pitcher stands on a thick, weighted circular base, indicative of quality craftsmanship and stability. The overall height appears to be approximately 10 to 12 inches. Construction clues, such as the smooth rim and the attachment points of the handle, suggest a hand-worked origin rather than mass production. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image, but the style is reminiscent of Scandinavian or Italian (Murano) designs from the 1950s or 1960s. The glass shows good clarity without significant cloudiness or 'sick glass' syndrome, though there is a white sticker or residue on the base and some minor surface dust. No chips, cracks, or deep abrasions are immediately apparent, suggesting the item has been well-preserved.
