A weathered glass pitcher features a round body widening from the base and narrowing to a neck topped with a flared, pinched rim forming a spout. A single handle curves from the rim to the shoulder. The spherical body is decorated with parallel horizontal ridges circling its circumference. The surface is mottled with patches of dark brown, tan, and gray, displaying a pitted texture and crusty mineral deposits throughout.
