This pitcher is 8" tall and 9" from spout to handle.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or scratches.  It has one barely visible 1/8" stress line under the tip of the spout along the seam, made during manufacturing, but one has to search to find it. It is not a crack and the piece is structurally sound.  Under the base, out of sight, is one small glaze pop which has darkened slightly.  Otherwise, the piece is very clean and unstained, and it appears unused. As the photos show, this is a wonderful, cheerful jug for use or display!Please view my other beautiful items currently up for auction. (click "View Seller's Other Items" above...)
