Murano Style Hand Painted Grape Vine Footed Glass Pitcher
Unbranded (Attributed to Romanian or Italian art glass studios like Walters or similar export labels) · Kitchenware > Glassware & Pitchers
Era / Decade
1990s to Early 2000s based on the raised enamel paint style and gold leaf rim application.
Material
Blown glass with raised enamel (liquid gold style outline) and hand-painted stained glass style infill.
Condition
Very Good. The glass appears clear without chips or cracks; however, there is noticeable wear to the gold gilt on the rim which is common for this type of hand-decorated glass.
Demand Level
Moderate. Tuscan and 'Grandmillennial' decor styles remain steady, but unbranded glassware can take longer to move than signed pieces.

Comparable Sales
Similar hand-painted Romanian or Italian-style pitchers typically sell between $20 and $40 on eBay plus shipping, depending on the complexity of the pattern.
Description
Elegant vintage-style footed glass pitcher featuring a hand-painted grape and vine motif. The design uses raised 'stained glass' style enamel in purple, green, and gold. Includes a gold-gilt rim and base edge with a gracefully curved handle and wide pouring spout. Stands approximately 10-12 inches tall.
Key Features
Hand-painted texture, raised enamel detailing, popular Mediterranean/Tuscan kitchen aesthetic, footed pedestal design.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely a high-quality boutique import rather than a specific 'designer' piece; lack of pontil mark suggests mold-blown production with hand-finishing. Confidence: Medium.
Flaws to Note
Significant fading/rubbing on the gold gilt rim; minor sticker residue; requires delicate hand-washing as the enamel can flake if put in a dishwasher.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for its vintage/hand-painted appeal) or eBay. Facebook Marketplace is a good secondary option to avoid shipping risks.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Tuscan Decor,' 'Stained Glass Style,' and 'Raised Enamel.' Highlight the hand-painted nature in photos by showing the texture of the paint from a side angle. Wrap heavily in bubble wrap for shipping as the foot is a stress point.
