Reed & Barton Silver Plated Pitcher & Yellow Flowers farmhouse NOT FOOD SAFE

Reed & Barton Silver-Plated Water Pitcher Pattern #5490  7 HP: This likely refers to the capacity. HP in this context often stands for Half-Pints. Seven half-pints equals 3.5 pints (or roughly 1.75 quarts), which is the standard size for a formal water pitcher.  ***Surface Wear: There are visible spider scratches and scuffs consistent with age and polishing. This was a working item and may have a small dent or ding. Stopped using because it was too heavy.  Potential Plate Loss: In the final close-up image, there appears to be a deep scratch or a slight peel in the metal. Because this is silver-plated (not solid sterling), once the silver layer is compromised, the base metal (usually copper or nickel silver) can show through or begin to tarnish differently.  Functionality: It makes a stunning vase, but if the plating is flaking on the inside, it’s best used for decor rather than serving beverages.
