A very pretty pitcher, unusual color ID: L.G. Wright

Hello, friends,
Both weddings are over, and I missed this place...and these folks! I DON'T miss girls in "drama" mode!
These pictures are of a pitcher that's 9" tall at the tallest point and 7" wide not including the handle. It holds 12 cups, but thats right up to the ruffle.
I am hoping to find out anything, really. What is this color? Who made it? How old might it be? Should I love the niece very, very much that wants it? (free) :roll: I am an extreemly generous person, but, umm, :!: :?: :!: I hate to let anything go untill I have found out all I can. I'll probably give it to her, it seems she will appreciate it at least. She saw it across the room and said "Oh My God!" at least a dozen times.
Thank you for your time,
With much respect, Linda

Hi Linda, I did a quick look through my Fenton books. That is what struck me, it looks like a Fenton product. It could possibly be Fenton's polka dot done in transparent Jamestown blue. This was done in the late 50s. This is just a quick guess and maybe someone with more knowledge will come along. Terry
Connie:
Terry - My first thought was Fenton Jamestown Blue also. I can't see the bottom of the pitcher clearly but if it doesn't have a small foot then I don't think it is Fenton. I looked through my books and couldn't find documentation of a large jug being made in Jamestown Blue. However, Fenton did make a 2467 jug in Ruby Overlay Polka Dot during the same time period that Jamestown Polka Dot was made so it is conceivable that it was also made in Jamestown Blue. The problem is I can't find a picture of mold no. 2467 to confirm the shape. It isn't 2267 or any of the other large jug moulds.
lhazeldahl:
Hi, wow, thanks for the quick response!
I tried to take more photos of the bottom, Connie. It has the broken glass in a circle, not any lengthy points, but rough to the touch. There seem to be tool creases (?) on the ruffles, under each rise. I'll have to start over with pictures, my camera has taken a beating lately.
I'll check in later, and thanks again!
Linda
Connie:
Linda -
If you are saying that the bottom has a rough or broken pontil mark, then we can definitely rule out Fenton.
I was actually asking about where the bottom meets the side.
Look at this jug/pitcher in my store

It is a different style but you can see that ring of glass where the bottom meets the sides. All the larger Fenton jugs have that type of bottom.
