    This is ~7 5/8" tall, ~4 5/8" base diameter, ~3 5/8" rim diameter; the sides are straight. It is not translucent; it weighs 777.4 grams (~27.4 oz). I can find no markings on it at all.
    The Turquoise glaze is splattered, very evenly; Google Images doesn't have this pattern, but does show a few pieces with similar treatment of that glaze.
    Have any of you seen something like this? I feel it's western European, early to mid 20th C...but I'm guessing, of course. Thanks for lookin'!

    I've seen pitchers with a similar shape but not the pattern. Looks to be aztec influenced maybe?

    You nailed it Whit-it's comical in form,sorry can't help with the maker though !? Agree,the motif is kind of Aztec/Lithuanian.

    I thought this was called a lighthouse shape, but searching that term gets all sorts with lighthouse decoration.

    But up there in the hollars of the great Pac Norwest ya appear an Odin-like king in your raven crested manor commanding the fjord from Nordic heights,with that handsome drinking horn in your battle-scarred paw.

    I think we've digressed a little from the OP's question.
