hey everyone. long time no see. would love some input from our resident experts on this piece i found.
Points for it being old: heavy ring of wear on the base (which i tried to capture in the pics), a couple of loose pieces of iron/slag in the base, light scratches on the body, water pours very well out of it (whoever pulled the spout seemed like they were experienced)
points against: the color, placement of the spout is pretty crappy (makes me think student glass proj), the handle is hollow/bubble which i haven't seen on many pieces
tried to capture the wear
pic from the inside, shows the pontil/wear nicely
thoughts? Old, and if so, how old? was it for water? and the age old question, if it's the real deal, how much is it worth? I don't collect free blown stuff and especially not pitchers so if its a good piece i'd like to sell it to buy a nice soda or some NYC flasks or something.
