    So what would help decide? Better pictures? Clonking on the side with a spoon? Feeling it with my cheek?

    Possibly your cheek. ;) But have a look at Bohemian milchglass .

    White milk glass often picks up a stretch mark like the one in the bottom of your pitcher. If you have no fire when holding it to the light and it's glass not china, then I'd come down on the side of a milk glass product, but probably painted in England. The structure looks English to me, but without holding it in my hands its just hard to be absolutely confident. That's my best stab. I'll look around and see if I can find some evidence to back my thoughts up. Have a nice day!

    tdebuys, there's nothing similar in the "bibles" I own, including Hajdamach's master work.

    Yep I agree Ownedbybear, I looked in all my resource books too and nothing to match the design in milk or bristol. I looked at around 2300 pitchers trying to find the same style or shape and frankly the only ones I found with a handle like this were pottery pitchers. I guess if it were easy to ID we'd have already done it. I fired a picture of it off to a lady that collects pitchers that I know to get her spin on it.

    Oh yes I did see a couple of Bohemian glass pitchers that used this shape of handle. It's fascinating to figure it out, and we should find it soon.
