Riihimaki Finland Starburst Blue Water Pitcher
Description
Ellen & Keith Richardson sold this to us in September of 2015. They considered this amazing Starburst blue water pitcher a very lucky bid on eBay in 2009. They hadn't seen any pieces with this pattern for a number of years so when it turned up, they had to have it.
Their description of the color on this pitcher is that it was quite breathtaking and certainly didn't need any lighting to show it off. The iridescence was abundant with rich blues, pinks, reds and golds.
This is quite a heavy piece of glass and they have only seen a couple of these. It measures 7" high, 7" from handle to pouring tip, 3.5" across the base and has a top opening of 5.5".
