About the Item

An impressive and beautifully executed sterling silver water pitcher by The Merrill Shop, standing 10 inches tall and designed in the distinctive Craftsman (Arts & Crafts) style. The pitcher features a hand-hammered surface throughout, giving it a subtle, dappled texture that reflects light softly and emphasizes the handmade quality of the piece. The body rises in a gently tapering cylindrical form from a broad, circular pedestal base, providing balance and visual grounding. The wide flaring spout is integrated seamlessly into the upper rim, demonstrating both aesthetic simplicity and practical refinement. A bold, angular handle—with crisp geometric lines and a strong architectural profile—contrasts elegantly with the organic surface of the hammered silver, showcasing the workshop’s modernist sensibility. The overall effect is one of restrained sophistication, merging form and function in perfect harmony. The pitcher’s proportions and craftsmanship exemplify the ideals of the American Arts & Crafts movement, which emphasized honest materials, visible handwork, and timeless design over excessive ornamentation.
