This exquisite vintage mini pitcher, also known as an ewer, boasts a vibrant turquoise blue hue with a distinctive crackle glass texture that mimics cracked ice, achieved through a traditional heating and cooling process during manufacturing. The piece is hand-blown, featuring a gracefully curved applied handle that attaches seamlessly to the body, a flared spout for easy pouring, and a smooth interior with no tactile cracks. The body tapers from a wide mouth to a narrower midsection before flaring slightly at the base, giving it an elegant, organic shape. A rough pontil mark on the bottom confirms its artisanal production, as it was snapped off the blowpipe during creation. At just over 5 inches tall and 2.75 inches in diameter at the base, this compact item is ideal for displaying as a decorative accent, small vase for flowers, or collectible glassware. The color shifts beautifully in light, evoking a stained-glass effect. No maker's marks are present, but the style aligns with mid-century American glass artistry.
