Have had this Fenton pitcher for about 25 years. It has a melon like body, ruffled top that looks to be rimmed in clear pink, the rim around the neck and the smooth bottom appears to be clear pink, making it look like it is cased glass. The applied handle is also in clear pink and looks like a bamboo design. The measurements are 7.5" by 6". Beautiful piece of glass.
I think you were correct in your assessment of these as Fenton. They do look to be Fenton's rose overlay and "R" includes both of your pieces:

I have also seen one in Italian glass and now am really unsure. "R"???
I am going back to Fenton. Thank you TallCakes.
1stdibs shows the same pitcher in blue, but Murano. listed as Aquamarine Blue Murano Ruffle Vase Pitcher. What are your thoughts TallCakes.
I'd vote for Fenton blue overlay:

any possibly similar ones by Murano would likely have a pontil mark of some kind, whereas Fenton does not since they are mold blown with a snap-ring base/marie to accommodate the hand crimping.
YOU are a genious....lol....thank you TallCakes. I even asked the woman if she was sure her item was Murano and she said yes....guess she chose to misrepresent.
