One Late 19th Century Meriden Silverplated Water Pitcher
Appraiser Remarks
Based on the marking and images your water Pitcher is a late 19th Century example. The company formed In 1852,out of six or seven small Britannia ware plants in the town of Meriden, organized by Horace C. and Dennis C. Wilcox into the Meriden Britannia Co supplying Britannia, Albata and German silver ware, both plated and unplated, to many other firms.
An agreement was reached whereby the genius and skill of the Rogers were joined with the initiative and business ability of the Meriden concern, and the latter began the production of goods that were later to be described in the catalogue of the Meriden Britannia Co.
In terms of value , a great deal depends on the condition of the plating, you'll have to polish it to determine that. Values for silver plate, even in good condition in most cases is currently very modest, as there is a lot of it on the market with few buyers.
