Primary Description:
Pitcher. Deep blue glass with seeds, opaque white lattimo glass; mold-blown, threaded, applied. Flattened globular body with second gather, mold-blown with 18 vertical ribs that have subsequently been pinched together with tweezers, into a "nipt diamond waies"-pattern. Joined by wide flattened knop, blown pedestal foot, widened in the middle, the upper portion with 18 ribs, outfolded edge, and rough pontil mark. Applied lattimo threads on rim and in the fold of the foot; this thread, starting with big spot on shoulder, is spun all the way down to the constriction of foot, but has been broken up by optical blowing and thus sits as spots on the ribs. Applied, ribbed, curved, attenuated spout reaching up from shoulder, the broken-off mouth with applied lattimo thread, with two applied, bifurcated prunts on front and back. Some of the white threading has been drawn up the spout. Ear-shaped handle with groove running down its back, applied on bulge below rim and cast-off on shoulder. Outer portions on top of handle pinched into two ends that form a thumb rest. Attached to lower end of handle a somewhat shapeless, bifurcated prunt.
