DescriptionPressed colorless lead glass cream pitcher with a plain rim that swells up and forward to form a spout, 'U'-shaped sides with a raised band around the middle, and a round foot with a slightly inset bottom. An ear-shaped, pressed handle is applied opposite the spout, connecting the rim with the raised band. The exterior of the cream pitcher is decorated with a raised pattern. This pattern begins with a line of small dots with stars below, which follows the outline of the rim. Below the spout, two hearts flank a diamond. Below this, raised vertical lines separate the exterior of the cream pitcher into fifteen narrow, vertical panels. Each panel is bisected by the raised band that circles the middle of the cream pitcher; four inverted swags in each vertical panel are above the raised band, and four are below. There are several hairline cracks in the rim and surfaces of the cream pitcher. There are also many small chips in the edge of the rim. There is a group of air bubbles in the handle.
