Here is a picture of the base:

There are bubbles on the side between the amber and white layers.

Thank you for your comments.

Although it looks yellow, the outer colour is definitely amber which can be better seen in the picture of the base that I posted earlier.  In addition it does not have the uranium fluorescence under UV

I wondered about Northwood as well but the example of a Northwood ball shaped pitcher that I have has a marie to allow it to be snapped up rather than stuck up on a punty for finishing.  Here is another picture showing the pitcher from another angle.

Sid,

Reynolds quotes from The Ironmonger of 11 August 1886:

"Walsh striped-sateen ware is available in various shades of crimson, green and golden brown" (my italics).

He also illustrates other examples in blue over white, yellow over white, and just plain white.   So don't eliminate Walsh just yet!   How Eric found that reference beats me.   It is not the most obvious source for glass historians!

Have you tried any of the museums yet?

Best of luck, and please keep us informed.

Frank:
I have an S&W catalogue from c1910 which is only services and includes a lot of pitchers. Not one of the pitchers resembles this and almost all are footed. Also, I did see a variety of handle designs but none that spread as much as this one does.

Perhaps it is European?

Sid:
Bernard:  I have a question into the Corning Museum.  I will share what I learn from them.  

Frank:  Thank you for the information on Stevens & Williams' shapes.

Sid
