I have this pitcher looks like Murano, but I’m not sure. It is made of thick glass and etched roses and polka dots. The color is a blook red color. It measures 11 inches tall and 5 inches wide at it’s fullest. Does anyone know anything about this pitcher? Sometime I think it’s Murano, Moser, Imperial, or Bohemian? Please advise.

I have a similar wine glass in cranberry I purchased in Praha (Prague) Czech Republic two years ago.
Check this site for reference with so many similar glass pieces matching your pitcher

Yup, Czech / Bohemian cut to clear. At least $250.00
It seems the color is going all the way through.

I vote for Bohemiam crystal cut to clear! We sell it at the auction I work at sometimes.

It looks like red bohemian cut to clear crystal to me as well. I have lots of that glass and it looks very much like my items. Some of the newer cut to clear is only flash coated with the color, that is not worth nearly as much. If the color is all the way through the glass you have a very, very nice find.
If it was Murano it should be marked somewhere on the piece (or at least all my Murano is marked).

Well, unless I can see a mark, I don’t know anything about glass, but on the darkside, there is a ruby red pitcher with etched pinwheels that looks similar, and they are asking $99.00 for it.(it has a chip) They don’t mention a maker either.
There is also another one similar but with a different etched design that they said is Bohemian glass. Yours does not really look like Murano glass (Italian), but it does look vintage & European.
Make that two votes for Bohemian over there.

I saw a Spode at Replacements.com that looked a little similar. Doesn’t look Italian to me either. I’m no glass expert, but do love it so!!
