grecian appearing, but not ornate, border on the whole circumference of the mouth that is 5 close thin wales, like corduroy. Handle is strange--rises straight one inch, then take a straight 90 degree angle toward rear of pitcher for 1 1/4 inches, then descends in gentle soft curve toward base 3 1/2 inches, where it is soldered to body is a 3/4 inch slender leaf design.

(4 1/2 inch bowl circumference, 7 inches from handle to handle, identical design and marks)
