I love it! Can't see the spout, but maybe a water pitcher? Are there any markings on it other than that it is quadruple plated? I wouldn't venture a guess at the age without checking out some markings. If it doesn't say where it was made, Quad plating was seen beginning in the mid 1800's. If it's made outside of the US, it should be marked "made in" or have some reference to country of origin if made after 1891, unless it wasn't made for export. (although Made in Germany marks have a little different dating guideline) The engraving/design LOOKS like something from the Victorian era, but could have been used much more recently.
Correction to the original information on the pitcher - made in the USA- not
sure when- still a mystery. Stamped on the bottom is the following information: Tapestry- BMMTS- EP WB MFG CO. NS 3530.
I MISTAKENLY had the " triple plate info from the cracker tin. Can anyone decipher this info for me??
Help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Thank you chinablue & bellin68.. I love it too...
Without seeing the actual marks, I'm going to put my money on it being by Weidlich Bros. Mfg. Co. out of Bridgeport Conn. between 1901 and 1950 The pattern name is Tapestry.
