Great Old, Detailed Bergen Continental Pitcher

This unusually shaped pitcher was cut by Bergen in their well-done, early Continental design. It is completely wood-wheel polished and has that shimmery, smooth finish that the early portion of the ABP is known for.

The Continental pattern is set up in repeating rows of 8 pointed stars with jeweled centers. The next row is pointed crosshatching and clear 5-pointed star formation. The spout and upper portion of the pitcher are cut in a manner that I think is specifically done by Bergen only – I’ve only ever seen this cut on a cornucopia pitcher also. The handle is completely cut in pattern and the base is finished with a rayed star.

The piece is in excellent condition
