I would be grateful for any information on this pitcher I recently purchased. It has an iridescent sheen to the class. A friend suggested it might be molded glass. It measures 9 1/4" tall and 3 3/4" across at top. With an applied green handle.
Thanking you in advance for any help.

I have a pitcher that looks just like yours with iridescent finish but the handle is the same pink color as the body. You might look into Dunbar Glass, West Virginia around the 30's.
Thank you VERY much for your comment! I really appreciate your input and will look into the Dunbar Glass.
Hello Louise,
It is indeed a Dunbar Iced Tea Pitcher, # 5024 ( may not be the Dunbar style #, but a number given it on the site where I found it )
a beautiful piece, great color, wonderful shape,
a great find, Congratulations!
Budek! Thank you, thank you. I have put other things on this site and not gotten any kind of response so I am DE-LIGHTED to hear from both you and Ebella! It's kinda like magic! :)
It reminds me of my pitcher I'm trying to find out more about. I'll have to check out the Dunbar glass as well.
