Pressed Glass Pitcher

The item is a clear glass pitcher, likely made of pressed glass, showcasing a complex and intricate pattern characteristic of early 20th-century American pressed glass. The pattern appears to be a 'hobstar' or 'pineapple' variation, featuring multiple faceted geometric shapes including diamonds, stars, and cross-hatching, which create numerous reflective surfaces. The pitcher has a prominent handle with a textured surface, exhibiting the same patterned glass. The spout is well-defined, and the body of the pitcher tapers slightly towards the base, which is also heavily patterned. It is filled with artificial greenery, including small white floral accents, indicating its current use as a decorative vase or planter. While the specific size is not provided, it appears to be of standard pitcher dimensions, suitable for holding beverages or as a substantial decorative piece. No obvious cracks, chips, or significant damage are visible, suggesting it is in good, used condition. The clarity of the glass and the crispness of the pressed patterns suggest good craftsmanship for its type. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided images, making a precise manufacturing detail difficult without further inspection. Based on the pattern and style, it likely dates from the late 19th to early 20th century, possibly within the American Brilliant Cut Glass era's pressed glass counterparts. Its robust construction and decorative appeal make it a versatile piece.
