Pitcher Pitcher
This is a Pitcher. It was manufactured by Tiffany & Co.. It is dated 1877–1885 and we acquired it in 1926. Its medium is silver. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
This Kane gift may be a family heirloom from the Kanes, Astors or Schermerhorns. It comes from New York at a date when these forebears of the donors were prominent. Its repoussé and chased overall floral decoration, a style popularized by the Baltimore firm of Samuel Kirk and Sons some thirty years earlier, continued in fashion throughout most of the nineteenth century.
