Silver and Silverplate Syrup Pitchers
Early silver or silverplate syrup cup or pitchers followed the general styles of English milk pots from which they may have been derived. However, most early ones can easily be distinguished from milk pots by a small drip plate - usually attached. The invention of a patent cut-off inside the pitcher removed the need for the drip plate.
Silver and silverplate syrup pitchers were sometimes made as an accessory or an addition to complete a silver tea service. Smaller pitchers, made for specialized purposes, such as the serving of milk and cream, usually matched tea services.
Designed in a great number of styles until after the turn of the century, syrup pitchers declined in popularity and have virtually disappeared from current manufacturers catalogs.
