Title: Unknown Metal Pitcher with Brass Handle- info?
Post by: tigerbyte16 on May 25, 2014, 07:25:00 PM

Hi all,
    I've been trying to find any information I can about the pitcher you see in the attached photos.  There is no maker mark on it anywhere and other than the brass handle I'm having a difficult time determining the metal it's made out of.  It has a cute vine design with berries of some type and even a couple mice.  Any information would be appreciated.

The "cute" vine design with berries of some type would be grape vines.  It's a wine jug.  Doesn't look like it has a lot of age to it.  GG

I agree with gg27!  Some may also call this a claret jug, or claret ewer.
