Up for bid a fine antique American cut glass lemonade
pitcher with a Gorham sterling rim. The
piece is about 11 7/8 inches tall by 6 1/2 inches wide over the handle. It has a ribbed body that flares outward
towards the foot. The ribs have cut
decoration as shown, and the foot has a cut sunburst. The hande has thumbprint cuts and a flat thumbpiece. It has a wide silver rim with a rococo scroll
edge. It is monogrammed “MJN” on the
side of the rim. It is marked with the
Gorham trademark, “STERLING”, “S2782” and a date code for 1898.
Condition on the piece is fairly good. There are some small chips and bruises down
the “spine” of the handle, and normal scratches to the foot. The interior looks pretty clean. The silver neck rim is a bit scratchy, with a
few minor dings. A fine piece of
sterling mounted cut glass!
