About this item
This tall hand‑blown glass pitcher brings striking scale and rich olive‑green color to a room, its pewter‑detailed lid and handle adding a grounded, old‑world presence.
The elongated silhouette and rounded body reflect the Renaissance‑inspired shapes often seen in German glassmaking, where artisans blended functional forms with decorative metalwork. Hand‑blown glass naturally carries small air bubbles and mineral particles, a hallmark of traditional production that gives each piece its own character. The generous height and balanced proportions make this jug a dramatic accent for display, styling, or theatrical use, while the pewter elements introduce a tactile contrast that feels both historic and sculptural.
Dimensions are 18" tall with lid, 6" in diameter at the middle, 3.5" in diameter at the top, and 4.5" in diameter at the base.
