Ok so here is the truth.  I purchased this pitcher as part of an estate sale.  I looked it up and everything I find shows it is lead crystal.  My problem with this is that I did the light test and technically it should put off a rainbow on the wall.  It did not put a rainbow on the wall in any form; therefore, I am calling it cut glass.  It is very heavy and stands approximately 5 inches tall.  It is a beautiful piece that I envision holding cream for tea or maybe the spruce in the drink.  It is a beautiful piece.
