I hesitated to crop the photos to exclude the dazzle this pitcher reflects. And in motion it looks like a disco ball. Think what candles might do! Intricate banding is flanked by a handle that branches into two fruit limbs, one on each side. The hammered bowl gives that incredible sparkle to your table. Has withstood it’s years in such great shape due to the fact that it is quadruple plated. Inside the fluted petal rim is an ice stop and white porcelain liner with straining holes. Excellent example of a Porcelain Lined Cold Water Pitcher produced around 1862-1877 by the Rogers, Smith and Co. in New Haven Conn. Initial dating June 8, 1858 with numbers 2-66-7-3, the company stamp was in effect from 1862 t0 1877. The Company was purchased by Meriden in 1863 and merged with Meriden Britonia in 1866. This pitcher is in excellent condition and shows no loss of silver, no repairs and the inner porcelain liner is intact without cracks or significant staining.

... organized in 1857... their principle business was hollowware, the company also supplied silverplated flatware, using the designs furnished by others, which they plated, finished and stamped with their trademark. By 1862, Rogers, Smith & Co.... had failed. The Rogers, Smith & Co. was purchased by others and moved to New Haven... When [Rogers, Smith & Co.] moved to Meriden the line was still popular in the trade and consumer was active until 1904 [sic], when it was discontinued. The company was a part of the Meriden Britannia Co. when it was taken over by the International Silver Co. in 1898."
By the year 1869 the Meriden Britannia Co. had taken over the interests of Rogers Smith & Co, although it continued in New Haven until 1877, when it was moved to Meriden and became merged with the Meriden Britannia Co. Rogers, Smith & Co ceased to exist as a separate entity and was used as a trademark of Meriden Britannia Co.
