THIS ITEM IS AN ANTIQUE SOLID BRASS WATER PITCHER OR JUG.  IT DOES NEED A GOOD CLEANING AND POLISHING TO BRING IT BACK UP TO BEAUTIFUL.  I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CLEAN BRASS SO I LEAVE THAT TO THE EXERTS WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.  THERE IS A TINY DING UNDER THE LIP … TWO INCHES FROM THE NECK.  

IT MEASURES 8 1/4 INCHES TALL X 7 1/2 INCHES WIDE INCLUDING THE HANDLE.  IT HAS A VERY UNIQUE STYLE TO IT WITH THE BODY BEING ROUND IN THE MIDDLE AND THE HANDLE HAVING THE THUMB NOTCHES SO THE PITCHER DOES NOT SLIP WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE WET.  THIS PIECE IS NOT MARKED BUT WITH MOST BRASS IT COMES FROM INDIA.  THE PITCHER OR JUG IS VERY HEAVY AND THICK.
