The handle info I would have never noticed just looking at it.

I have also seen your pitcher in an aqua swirl as well as creamers and sugars in swirled blue glass , also made in Mexico.

Status: offline 		Excellent site Whiskeyman I found my bottle and it is rare!!!

Extremely Rare - Midwest probably Pittsburgh, 16 ribs amethyst cruet, ca 1800-1830. Applied hallow handle, dark amethyst, tooled mouth with pour spout pontil scar, height. 7 6/8 inches, dia. 5 1/2 inches. These are very desirable among collectors and a must have for any midwest collector. Loss to handle and a large crack along the back.  The last one of these sold at Green Valley for 10K. ~SOLD~
