A translucent, pale green glass pitcher features a bulbous body textured with raised, diagonal spiral ribs. A single handle curves from the shoulder, terminating in a decorative loop atop the wide, flat rim. The neck, encircled by a thin ring, shows mottled brown staining and iridescence. The vessel tapers toward the bottom to rest upon a small, flared foot.
