A late 19th-century Victorian crystal pitcher with sterling silver mounts, crafted in the United Kingdom, that showcases graceful proportions and refined contrast. The ovoid crystal body is deeply cut with dynamic diagonal fluting, resting on a circular pedestal foot, while a band of star-cut ornament encircles the shoulder. Above, the polished silver collar features a laurel wreath cartouche framed by delicate ribbon motifs and fluted detailing at the spout. The hinged lid rises to an acorn-form finial, and the handle curves elegantly with subtle molded accents.

The metal top bears a serial number alongside the “925” mark, indicating sterling silver. See less
