A Pairpoint advertisement of July 1915 describes “an odd floral pattern just arrived from the factory known as the ‘Murillo.’ It is a clever combination of deep and light cutting in a dull and polished finish that produces an exceedingly pleasing effect. It is made in a wide variety of items.” This pattern remained in the company’s line for at least 15 years.

Waisted shape with cut serrations on top rim, applied handle with cut hes opposite pouring lip, design of multi-pointed flowers, buds and leaves cut around sides, with a butterfly under the pouring lip; cut multi-pointed star on ground and polished base.
