Clear glass pitcher with a wide, flared lip and ribbed design on top. The pitcher has a large handle on the right side that curves down and attaches to the body. The body is bulbous with a narrow neck and a circular base. The base is flat with a slightly raised edge. The pitcher sits on a short, thick stem that connects to the circular base. The background is grey and white, transitioning from dark to light.
