I got this pitcher today at an estate sale and it was yellow. After cleaning it turns out it is clear glass and I think quite old. I’ve looked for a couple hours on different sites trying to use different terms to see if I can find anything similar. I got rid of all my glass reference books last year when I closed my store (stupid, I know!) Anyway, it is 8.5" tall at the spout, 8" tall at the handle, 5" dia. mouth and 4.75" dia. base.

Anyone recognize the pattern or know who made it? Is it EAPG? I don’t have a black light to check it.
Thank you.

That is definitely EAPG, the pattern on your water pitcher is called DewDrops and Flowers, pictured on page 269 of McCain’s Field Guide to Pattern Glass.

DEWDROPS AND FLOWERS (STIPPLED VIOLET; QUANTICO; N.S. STARFLOWER), pitcher. Made ca. 1880 in extended table service including wine.
(She sites her references as Kamin I-49; Metz I-56; Unitt 2-180)
The only one I could find on the Internet was this one that was sold with its matching milk pitcher back in 2006.

In my pattern glass book this is called Dewdrops and Flowers made in Nova Scotia circa 1890 – Clear Non Flint glass. It is also called Nova Scotia Starflower which looks very similar and I think is a variation of Dewdrops and Flowers. To further confuse you this pattern is also called Quantico. You will find the most information online researching EAPG Nova Scotia Starflower.
Beat me to it Timespan…you are good!
Edited to add the book I used was Price Guide to Pattern Glass by Dori Miles and Robert Miller.

Reminds me of Jeannette Glass “Louisa” pattern, but your piece looks much older than their 1950’s glassware.
