<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 9430712, member: 10012"]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.[ATTACH=full]435490[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435491[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435492[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435493[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435495[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435496[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
