Very Large and Heavy Champagne Pitcher

This is a very heavy (8 lb) champagne pitcher in what is an unknown pattern to me. The cutting looks like Hoare or Clark but those are just two shots in the dark.

The cutting on this pitcher is sharp enough to cut your hand on – even by gently handling it. The fine, sharp prism cutting extends up the almost hourglass-like blank until it reaches diamond fields of fan and a large hobstar. Elongated bands of crosshatching also reach from the bottom fully to the top. The base of the pitcher is covered with a beautiful 24-point hobstar and the handle is triple notched. The spout is fluted and notched.

This elegant form measures a proud 12 3/4″ tall and 6 1/4″ wide at the base. It’s in perfect condition with some minor scratches to the base – which is to be expected of such a heavy piece.
