Antique Victorian Silver Tilting Beverage Pitcher in Stand with Drip Tray & Goblets | This is an impressive 19th Century tilting pitcher made of a fine quadruple silver plate. It would have had a place of importance at a tea table or credenza to serve water, or some other beverage. The server or guest would place their goblet or cup on the small round platform and tilt the pitcher to pour without picking up the heavy pitcher. The pitcher is lined with glazed ceramic, reminiscent of smooth crockery. It would benefit from keeping water cool in an era of no air conditioning. The frame and pitcher handle have elaborate repoussé ornamentation. Inscribed.
