Description

This pitcher seems very old to me and definately hand made.  It was found in my Grandma's attic in Northern Germany.  Her house is over 400 years old, so I have no idea when this item became our families property.  

It has some rust on the bottom and a few rusty spots on the outside.  A very detailed engraving encircles the pitcher.  

So, can I sell it and retire?  lol..

Thanks for reading.

Cheers
