    Description

    Very unique pitcher.  EPNS is electro plated nickel silver, which is a thin layer of silver over an alloy made of nickel, zinc, and copper, (not silver plate).
    Made in India, this vintage piece has hand done etchings all around the wide part of the pitcher.  There is tarnish and also some wear of the silver.  You may see some copper coming through.  4 feet and handle are all sturdy and intact, as well as the ice lip.
    Approx. 8.5" tall, about 5" diameter at widest part. (not counting handle).  Weighs close to 2.5 lbs. There is tarnish and some pitting.  It can probably be cleaned up if desired. I didn't try, as epns is a slightly more delicate finish than silver-plate and I didn't want to damage finish, as I am not an expert.
    Could be used for pitcher, vase, planter, holder, display......many uses.
    Thanks for looking.
    I have two other pitchers on ebay.  If interested in more than 1, I would give a quantity discount.
