Sophisticated blown glass pitcher with blue-toned veins. The piece features an elegant, organically shaped body, with a generous belly that rises to a narrow neck that opens into a wide mouth, and a handle that blends seamlessly into the piece.
The handcrafted glass exhibits subtle veins in different shades of blue, including a distinctive milky vein that runs irregularly across the body. These chromatic variations add visual depth and a sense of movement to the surface, revealing the pitcher's unique character.
A hand-incised signature consisting of an M and a W can be seen on the base. Although its creator has not been identified, this detail adds value to the piece, highlighting its authenticity. See less
