<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 2497593, member: 6444"]I bought one of those huge 19th century sugar bowls in coin silver at an estate sale. Lid was stuck.

I hoped it was for a pet, but was never sure that it wasn't for grandma. After driving around with it in my car for a while, I finally took it to a cemetery so I could scatter the ashes without feeling too guilty.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before you donate this pitcher, can I ask whether there is any writing on the bottom and if so to take a pic of it? I have a similar pitcher that I've been hanging onto solely because there is writing on the bottom that I can't read. I can really only see that there are two words, and one of them starts or ends with an 'X'. Which leaves me clueless.
