Description

Here are several pictures of this item:

This pitcher is in excellent condition and appears to be made of sterling silver.  Please note the maker's mark on the underside of the lid.  Also, the patent # on the bottoms dates this item to the 1860s.

Also, be sure to see the picture of the paper that accompanies this item.  I can read arabic, assuming that's what language this is in.

Thanks so much for any help in identifying and putting a value on this.

Best,
Chad
