Hand-Blown Glass Tripod Pitcher with Hand-Painted Polychrome Enamel Accents

This is a hand-blown clear glass tripod-footed pitcher, likely dating from the mid-20th century, approximately 1940s-1960s. The vessel features a globular body supported by three scrolled, applied glass legs. A distinctive high-arched glass handle is attached to the rim and shoulder, showing characteristic tool marks at the points of fusion. The exterior is decorated with folk-art style hand-painted enamel designs, including blue bow-like scrolls, yellow accents, and small white daisy floral motifs. The glass clarity is good, though common internal seed bubbles and striations from the blowing process are present. The painting exhibits a naive, charming aesthetic often found in European or American art glass from the mid-century period. Condition-wise, it appears intact without major visible cracks or chips, though there is a yellow price label adhered directly to the surface which may leave residue. The enamel shows minor thinning in areas consistent with age and gentle handling. The craftsmanship reflects a semi-skilled artisan approach, combining traditional glass-forming techniques with decorative surface treatment.
