Help! I've got a lovely glass pitcher/carafe/jug here, and would love to know more about it. I spotted it at a flea market and thought it looked great. The seller didn't know the maker, which intrigued me more, so I took a gamble and bought it. Even if it does turn out to be modern and mass-produced, it's still pretty nice!
The pitcher is a kind of squashed oval shape, with an absolutely flat top, like it's been sliced across. The handles are inset, so you grab the body of the pitcher itself to pour. It's extremely solid and very heavy. The pattern looks art deco.
I've searched high and low (on the internet, at least) to identify the mark, but with absolutely no success. It's etched, and looks like a stenciled lowercase "ac" surrounded by a stenciled square with an extra break in the lefthand side.
I'd considered if it was mass produced, but the sheer weight, solidness, and etched mark point to no. But, I've no great experience in these matters, so any insight would be greatly appreciated.
