Antique Water Pitcher by Meriden B. Company

By Ilya_okun, 22 May, 2015
Description

The Antique Water Pitcher by Meriden B. Company, 81/4"H x 51/4" D (not counting for the handle). Looks like blackend silverplate with a bronzewish shade. Floral pattern in three horizontal and 6 vertical segments. On the front of the neck, it has inscribed ornamental latters, presumably, JR (see photo 2)

I am interested to learn more about this Water Pitcher: what time period these Pitchers might have been made, what material it could be made of, and what could be its fair market price. Any information about the pitcher would be welcom.
