[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9499751, member: 76316"]It's 5 5/8" tall, with a 4 7/8" base an' a 2 7/8" rim; weight is 14.5 oz. The dots in the 2 decorative bands are slightly raised. What I initially found so appealing was that the repair staples (which are non-ferrous, probably brass) do not intrude to the underside of the handle...and that they are of different sizes; each one custom crafted for that fracture an' its location; the handle drilled in 4 places so as not to intrude through the lower surface, an' then cemented for permanence. This pitcher was precious enough to a person or family to warrant skilled, tedious, fussy, attention from a (probably) hired artisan. Imagine! Anyway, can y'all say where it was made, an' roughly when? Its lack of marking, on such a finely crafted, elegant piece of utilitarian tableware, must offer some clue I would think...but perhaps not. Thanks for lookin'!
