BEAUTIFUL Antique German Crystal & Silver Plate Pitcher w/glass insert pre-1949

Description

Antique German Crystal and Silver Plate Pitcher w/ glass insert pre-1949.
For auction we have a lovely German cut crystal with silver plated overlay collar with handle. There is a glass and silver-plate cylinder insert used to hold ice, this allows you to keep your beverage cold without diluting it with melting ice. It has been used often as can be seen by the wearing off of the silver on the handle. The design etched into the crystal is beautifully done, grape clusters and leaves. There are no tags or stickers, but there is evidence of a rectangular sticker under the lid at one time. It is incised on the edge of the silver-plated collar, just below the handle MADE IN GERMANY. Germany divided into East and West in 1949 and things were marked accordingly until Germany was reunited in 1990. With the amount of wear on this piece, I am sure it was NOT made post 1990. The pitcher is complete with the cork liner in the ice chamber, it is, however, broken as you can see in my photos, but still fits snuggly into the lid.
Weight: 5 lbs.

Have fun bidding!
I generally ship on Tuesdays. If I get a fast payment and I'm running an errand that day, I might swing by the post office on a day other than Tuesday and drop off your package, but I guarantee a Tuesday shipping.
I'm not new to Ebay even though my feedback may appear as though I am. Back in the 90's I started an account under the name YOGADORK, but at some point my husband got into the vintage guitar scene and sort of took over my Ebay account. I decided to start a new one. Go ahead and check out YOGADORK to feel more secure about doing business with me. :) Thanks!
