Great looking and impressively crafted quadruple silverplate pitcher by Barbour Bros. Pitcher holds 7 cups comfortably and pours easily. The design is raised (puffed out) and shows what appears to be gourds, vines and leaves. The design is repeated on both sides. The pitcher looks good from every angle. Above the gourds is a raised band that is swirled around the entire pitcher. Truly a work of art in itself. Pitcher stands 7" in height and 7" from the end of the handle to the other side of the pitcher. Could use a polishing, inside is clean...no dents or dings. Some history from the WEB - "In 1881 or 1882, Samuel Barbour moved from Chicago to New Haven, Conn., w he and his brother Charles joined in forming the Barbour Brothers Co. At this point, they were only marketers of silverplate products made by I. J. Steane & Co. of Hartford. But the brothers were operating in Hartford by no later than 1889, since the Geer's city directory for that year contains the listing, "Barbour Bros. Co. silverplated ware mfgs.., 64 Market St. In 1892, a decade or so after its formation, the brothers' original partnership was succeeded by the Barbour Silver Co., which also succeeded Steane & Co. The 1889 edition of the Geer's city directory has a listing for "Barbour Silver Co., Silversmiths, 62 Market St." Please see photos for better idea of item
