A Victorian silver plate syrup pitcher in the shape of a barrel. It still has some silver and has polished up with some shine.The pitcher was made from a heavy metal molded in the shape of a barrel and then silver-plated. The spout, handle, and lid have etched florid designs. There is a blank cartouche below the spout, where a monogram would have been etched. The lid has a pin hinge and rests on a ball on the handle when opened. The base is flat and rests flat on a surface.A makers mark in the center of the base reads SIMPSON HALL MILLER & CO. QUADRUPLEPLATE . The base also has numbers 6 and 7 stamped in in.MEASUREMENTS5 ¼” (13.3 cm) tall x 5” (12.7 cm) long x 3” (7.6 cm) wide.

There are scratches in the walls of the interior.A small usable piece for the breakfast table. I love the barrel like design.ITEM IDS-2692STYLEVictorianAGELate 19th CenturyCOLORSilverTYPEHollowareORIGINUnited States • AmericanPURPOSEPitchers, Ewers, TablewareITEM TYPEAntique
