Elegant and industrial are not often used together, but they seem to fit in the description of this antique silver plated tankard. This large pitcher has strong features that are contrasted by hints of ornate and decorative elements. The simple form is enhanced by the portrait at the handle, the unique lid topper, and engravings that surround the form. An exceptional Meriden piece is deserving of a spotlight! Proudly display this one on your fireplace, side table, or console and let its craftsmanship spark conversations.
