The last picture and Ill explain what you are looking at.The view of this picture is looking straight down into the pitcher favoring the side where the pitchers handles are attached.If you look closely there is an amber olive colored glass area in the handle.This color of olive glass impuritiy is not physically located where you see it in the picture but rather at the other end of the handle and the color is travelling throught the handle just as Fibre optic cable carry light waves through them.

The last picture is showing the half post ring where the second gather of glass pushes out the waves of diagonal lines in the pitcher.
This is by far my nicest pitcher.

Why don't you wait until you've thought things through before starting an aimless, scatterbrained post like this.. you really need to focus, my good man.. [;)]

Why thank you Chuck I'll take that as a compliment.Some of these thoughts arrive to my head late in the game like a bull pen pitcher.
I will try and be more organ-sized in the future.[;)][:D][sm=lol.gif]

100 percent sure Chuck for seven dollars it was either this bottle or artery choking fast food I had to take the chance.
Seriously this is a real gem.I feel oh so fortunate yet slightly guilty about getting it for so little.Should I send the eBayer
a nice finders fee?I feel like I should now.
