I have had this pitcher/jug for a while. But due to broken computer I have been holding off listing anything. I am now fully functional. I tried to do a bit of research on this jug, and have come up with Koloman Moser Loetz Crackle glass Jug. It's a clear crackle glass with molded hollow handle. Size 7 1/2 inches high. Circa 1905-1910.
A classic....I have one too. See posts by inky and Alfredo for other colours....but perhaps you have already :-)
You can find the design under the no. II-2824 in Loetz/Series II by Jitka Lnenickova on page 333. The year is 1905. There are many speculation about this item, the two most frequent are school of Koloman Moser or Marie Kirschner.
For decoration it says "kristall krokodil" = crystal crocodile in various colors.
Thank you kunshammer for the information. I am humbly appreciated.

Thank you for the loves, vetraio50, PatSea, CindB,aghcollect, DrFluffy, Moonstonelover21, Trey, LoetzBuddies and Rick55.
It is important to be aware that examples of these have also been produced in modern times in Scandinavia in very similar forms and in crackle glass. Some similar designs have been attributed to Kralik and Ruckl. I am not saying this one is not Loetz, but just advising that much caution is needed when attributing these.
stunning new finds and postings!!!
I got one on Sunday too, SMIATA !!!!!
Different handle!
What a coincidence vetraio50. Thanks for stopping by and the comment. Have a great day.
Thank you all for the loves and comments.
There's another designer Ludvika Smrckova,who made almost identical glass jug.I've got one and I'm still unsure.
IVONNE, does your jug by Smrckova have a ground pontil?
Vetraio,it's got a polished pontil.
Many thanks IVONNE !!!!!
