Need to Identify Heavy Crystal Pitcher Maybe American Brilliant?

This is very heavy and about 10.25 inches tall. I dont see any maker mark on it. It reminds me of old Waterford but I realize its not. Is there a pattern name to this, could it be American Brilliant?101_0197.JPG101_0201.JPG101_0208.JPG

American Brilliant is a style of deeply cut crystal made from 1876-1917. It's always hard to tell from a photo, but your piece looks more liked pressed glass than cut glass. The cut edges on American Brilliant are very sharp and deep. Your piece seems to show the more rounded cuts indicative of pressed glass.

Im sorry my pictures arent the best. This actually feels sharp in some places which makes me feel its cut. Especially the diamond parts at the bottom which are not terribly uniform. Those are pretty sharp. Its also incredibly heavy and shows no seams or mold marks. Of course I could be mistaken but Im pretty sure its cut.
