Story
The hinged guard at the spout is the giveaway. This pitcher was built for cocktails — the guard holds the ice back so the drink pours clean.
A faceted silver-plate pitcher in classic 1930s American Art Deco form, with twelve crisp panels running floor to rim and an angular handle that reads more architecture than tableware. The design is all geometry — no curves, no ornament, just confident mid-century engineering applied to the cocktail hour.
The ice guard still swings cleanly on its hinge. The plate has mellowed evenly with age. Use it for martinis, water at dinner, or as a sculptural object on a bar cart that doesn't need anything more than this.
