Look at this lovely little find! This is a silver-plated syrup pitcher from the 1880s. Even though the patent date on the bottom reads 1865, we think it might be closer to 1881 based on the note found inside of it. We will, of course, include the note with the purchase.
We believe the pitcher was made by Meriden Britannia Co., and the design was patented on October 24, 1865.
Key features include:
- Figural lady head on the handle and lid.
- Victorian style.
- Made of silver plate.
- Approximately 8 inches tall.
- Manufactured by Meriden Britannia Co.
- Dates back to the 19th century.
- Used for serving syrup or honey.
- Meriden Britannia Co. was known for producing high-quality silver-plated items during the 19th century.
This item was clearly used, but it has been well maintained. Identical items are selling for $50-$100, but we are offering it for $35. We guarantee the quality of the piece.
Ships for 4.50 in the continental US. We offer free shipping on orders over $49, so add a little something extra to your cart to make the most of your investment!
