This pitcher is about 5" high x 4.5" diameter base to spout, since it flares out at the bottom. That fourth image shows how much it flares out at the base. It is a pretty heavy little pitcher, solid and well made, with a thick bottom and ground pontil, no mark, no label. I don't get a strong "Made in America" vibe from it, but I could be wrong. It only cost pennies, so I decided to grab it. It took me a few minutes to figure out the color. At first I thought is was purple, but then I realized that it is an odd sort of green.
Thanks for loving my art glass pitcher! Still researching this one.

The applied clear handle makes me think of Pilgrim Glass. The colored part is a little plain for their style. They use mostly crackle, contoured and optic glass but sometimes not.
Thanks for the comment dammitchris! Anything is possible! I don't think, however, that I have ever seen a piece of Pilgrim glass with a ground pontil or with this type of flared base. I looked at a few hundred pitchers on ebay, just to refresh my memory, though, which was fun!
Thanks, Jenni!
