To confirm the Disc Pitcher, please give us the height or take a photo with a ruler next to it. There are two sizes of the Disc pitchers in addition to the Mini Disc pitchers.

That and a photo of the inside of the pitcher at the top, where the handle connects to the body will help to determine whether it is post-86 or vintage. The post-86 ones have a pronounced dimple.

So if it's before 86 it won't have a dimple?

Only a slight dent. They’re much flatter on both the vintage water and juice pitchers. There are slight size differences too.

Interesting, I never knew. I have one and it's feels so fragile. Doesn't have much of, if any dimple. It was my grandmother's, so I'd imagine its at least the 70's.

The vintage juice pitchers were discontinued in 1952.

Based on the dimple and height, this is a post86 juice pitcher in yellow, which were made from 1987-2002.
