Featured Ornate Metal Pitcher

I saw and purchased this pitcher at an antique mall in Washington state. It is very good condition and quite heavy; approx 2 lbs. It is six sided. h= 8"; 7" wide at widest point. It has representations of courting (?) on each panel: woo-ing; proposal; asking her father for her hand; family life; courting. These representations are pressed into the six panels. The panels were then soldered to one another. It has a nice golden patina. I polished the base thinking of getting a better shot a 5 marks which are stamped there. This did not work out well as the shine made it hard to get a good picture. It is heavy, thick metal and the joints are clean and sturdy.

 

I didn't get the important pic. in showing the marks.

 

Stylistically, I'd call it Baroque, but that's no comment on when it was made.

 

Mark is by E G Webster and Son on silver plate. Webster did a lot of Dutch inspired pieces in the 1920s and this looks like it might be one of them.

 

Sorry about that red X instead of the image I wanted to show you. I will try to find another one.

 

There we go

Thank you all. I did find one for sale. E. G. Webster & Son operated from 1886 -1928. I did think that it the "Dutch" look. Interesting.
