Early American Pressed Glass (EAPG) Diamond and Sunburst Pitcher

This is a small-to-medium-sized pitcher crafted from Early American Pressed Glass, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The vessel features a cylindrical form with a distinct division in its surface design. The upper half is composed of smooth, clear glass with a generous pouring spout, while the lower half is heavily embossed with a geometric pattern consisting of deep diamond shapes and starburst motifs. One of the most striking features is the ornate applied handle, which exhibits a rope-like or twisted cable texture, indicating a higher level of craftsmanship than a standard smooth-molded handle. The glass has a subtle lavender or manganese tint, a common aging characteristic in antique clear glass known as 'sun-colored' glass, which occurs when glass containing manganese is exposed to UV light over many decades. No visible maker's marks are discernible from the image, but the pattern is consistent with manufacturers like Fostoria or Adams & Co. The condition appears fair to good; there are no major chips or cracks visible on the main body, though the base shows minor scuffing consistent with age and shelf wear. Light surface scratches and minor internal air bubbles (seeds) are present, which are characteristic of the pressing manufacturing process of that era.
