Question:
Hello Sorry to post again. I feel I may have botched the photos of the Reed tilt ball pitcher with ice lip yesterday. 48 ounce capacity. 7 1/4 inch tall. Bottom diameter 4 inch. Here is a photo of the main body of the pitcher. Thanks again Gary B

Answer: Thank you for posting again because this second photo confirms what I thought upon viewing the photo of the pitcher’s bottom. While quite similar, this is not a pitcher from the Reed pattern nor was it made by Red Wing. Reed ball-shaped pitchers were made in five sizes ranging from 8oz to 32oz but the rib design is different. The ribs go up and down on this pitcher while the ribs on a Reed pitcher end straight across about 1/3rd of the way up from the bottom. This pitcher also has a couple of ribs or lines near the opening while this feature is not found on Reed pitchers.
