    IMG_7126.JPG Another question. The top of the handle is applied to the body, the bottom goes into a hole. Have you seen this technique before?

    I can't help with an ID but it looks like a pretty generic lemonade or iced tea pitcher. Could be depression era or could be made yesterday. The handle is interesting. It almost looks like they planned on doing a half handle and changed their mind.

    I believe this is a machine made item, the handle was moved to be in the hole after it came from the machine. An opinion, post 1950.

    IMG_7155.JPG Thanks for the comments. I guess if that is a valve mark on the base then it's machine made. There are some bubbles including few larger but I guess that can be seen on machine pieces.
    Is there anything on the pitcher that gives up its age? And why choosing this type of technique for the handle?
    Btw, are there supposed to be visible seams?

    If 2nd pic down is the bottom, there’s no wear at all showing on the foot, leading me to conclude it is neither antique nor vintage.

    IMG_7184.JPG IMG_7185.JPG IMG_7186.JPG I doubt it was made yesterday with all those flaws in the glass but might not be antique either.
    Lots of scratching on the bottom but that's not enough to determine the age. Heavy glass that is used regularly can get that wear fast.
