    Wondering your thoughts. Found this and didn’t buy it because it was a bit pricey. Is it Blenko? It’s about 18”-20” tall with two purple handles. Crackle with rough pontil. I’ve not seen a piece of Blenko with an applied handle at the top like this.

    Well, it's too small to see the crackle, and no photo of the bottom pontil.
    So my WAG is NO, not Blenko. I've not seen such an "off balanced" Blenko pitcher before, the handle so small and the top handle makes it difficult to store on a cabinet shelf. I've always felt Blenko was meant to be used, practical prices, utilitarian glass ware, despite the crackle.

    Granted, it's a guess, so please wait for others to voice their opinions or research.

    I think it must be a watering can - a watering pitcher for plants

    Not Blenko. That item is not in their catalog. He-Man (above) might be right, that it's a watering pitcher for house plants. Maybe Mexico??
