This is a fabulous quality, heavy, silverplate Victorian style water pitcher with hallmarks. It has wonderful scroll work and 4 claw feet. It has the lip that hold the ice inside while you pour the water. It is large, measuring 10.25 inches when the handle is attached, and 6.75 inches across the rim. It is damaged and needs the handle re-attached. I don't have the skills to do that. I do not know the age, but I think it is old, I don't know how to identify the hallmarks.
