DescriptionPitcher of mold-blown glass. Inverted thumbprint pattern. Pale Amberina glass. Bulbous shape with rim of four deep scallops. Amber "rope" surrounds neck, joins and twists to form handle and separated to attach to body each end with a blossom wafer. Polished pontil. Don't believe this is homogenous heat sensitive. Ruby probably comes from thin top casing.
