Fiesta is a line of ceramic products, including serving bowls, dining plates, drink pitchers, and more. It's sold by companies such as Macy's and Wayfair and has a decent cult following. Fiesta was originally designed for the food service and hospitality industries, so the pieces are extremely durable. 

This particular pitcher usually retails for around $60

In the comment thread, the original poster said, "She's very dirty and sticky but chip free." A quick cycle through the dishwasher will make this pitcher as good as new. 

Post-Christmas can be one of the best times to go thrifting because people donate unwanted gifts. Folks also like to clean out their homes to make room for new presents, so they bring older, unloved items to secondhand stores.
