Tall Deep Amethyst Glass Pitcher with Dark Handle

Deep amethyst glass at this scale, 25 cm tall with a 16 cm spread, has a presence that lighter or smaller coloured glass pieces cannot match, and the heavy clear base and contrasting dark handle give this pitcher a structural solidity that makes it as satisfying to hold as it is to display.

This vintage glass pitcher features a rich deep amethyst tone in a straight-sided cylindrical form with a contrasting dark handle and a heavy clear base that anchors the piece visually. The depth of the amethyst colour, which shifts between purple and blue depending on the light, is the defining quality of the piece, and the clean cylindrical silhouette allows that colour to be the primary focus. The heavy clear base adds weight and stability, and the contrast between the amethyst body and the dark handle is a considered detail that gives the pitcher a more refined character than a single-colour piece would achieve.
