    This pitcher is 6 5/8" to the side edge. It kind of looks like Blenko's Williamsburg Reproduction pitcher but the handle looks like it was applied differently. :confused:

    That's Mexican. From Tlaquepaque, Jalisco. 1950s from the color.

    Handle applied differently....

    Prior to 1870 or so, handles were applied first at the top of the pitcher, then at the bottom. In the early 1870's patents were applied for that started the handle at the bottom, finished at the top.
    I'm not sure if the applications were approved, but before 1870 or so, all handles started at the top. After that date, both methods were used, but the newer, lower start handle became the standard.

    I'd just called it a jarrita, a little pitcher.
