A classic and elegant sterling silver water pitcher by Reed & Barton, of graceful baluster form with a scrolling handle, flared spout, and gently lobed body rising from a circular, stepped foot. The pitcher’s surface is finely hand-polished to a bright mirror finish and bears a delicate script monogram to the front panel. The lobed lower body adds visual rhythm and depth, reflecting Reed & Barton’s refined interpretation of traditional Georgian and early American design. The wide mouth (6” × 4”) allows for generous pouring, while the broad, angular spout provides a clean and steady flow. The handle is solid and well-balanced, curving elegantly from the upper rim to the shoulder of the body, ensuring both comfort and poise in service. This piece demonstrates the superb craftsmanship and enduring design quality that made Reed & Barton one of America’s foremost silversmiths. Its classic proportions and understated ornamentation make it suitable for both display and functional use on the dining table.
