This Vintage Hand-Blown Pilgrim Glass Ruby Red Crackle Pitcher has an applied clear handle. You can see the characteristic "thumbprint" or fold at the base of the handle where it was stamped onto the pitcher. Pilgrim Glass, located in West Virginia, was an iconic name in mid-century American art glass. Their lable is in great shape. The crackle effect is so strong on the bottom, I double-checked the 5" vessel filled with water overnight. No leaks. Please wash by hand. The small red pitcher is so intense, use it as a flower vase and it'll almost glow in the sun.
