    Hello everyone - I could use some help with this white pitcher. Is it parian? I was able to find some results with google image search but the descriptions were not consistent. I saw dates of manufacture from the 1860's through the 1920's. I also some examples with a lid but I'm not sure if my example ever had one. It stands 8 1/4" at its highest and the base is 3 1/4" across. There is a cypher on the base which I've shown in the last picture. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
    Don
