Stoddard Pitcher wrapped in sheet metal?? What??
Does anyone have any clue where this strange item came from? Its clearly a pitcher, hand blown with rough pontil, but I have never seen the wrapped sheet metal! As you can see the glass is dark amber like Stoddard. I think I have checked every corner of the internet, so I am reaching out to you all! Thanks for any leads.

The bubbles in the glass and overall "intentionally hand blown" appearance point to Mexican made tourist/import glass. It is in the same family as all the bubbly, swirl patterned pitchers, glasses and bowls that one sees that look old but in fact date to the later 20th century.
Somewhere I have a picture of a bowl with a MADE IN MEXICO sticker on it...will try to find this.
