This is an Meriden Antique Silver Plated Water Pitcher with a patent date of 1868. It measures 10.5" Tall and 6.5" Wide at the base. This comes with the original appraisal paperwork from Fisher's Auctions and also has paperwork dating back to 1961 from a previous owner. It was appraised at $250 in 2009 so $250 or best offer and I need to get it out the door so make me an offer and see what happens.
