There is a glare on the pictures which is from the light. It is not on the pitcher itself. There are no chips or cracks. The number on the bottom is 9517 I believe. It is hard to read as seen in pictures. If you have any questions or would like more pictures please let me know. I am more than happy to combine shipping. If you are interested in more than one item do not pay separately please wait for an invoice so I may combine shipping. We are a smoke free but not a pet free home. All winning bids, buy it now or best offer accepted purchases must be paid within 48 hours unless prior arrangement's have been made. Please take a look at my other auctions. If you have any questions please ask. Have fun! Thanks for looking at my sales!
