Needless to say this 12 1/2 inch pitcher is gorgeous even with the dents and tarnish. I would probably use it as just a decorative element in a room leaving it like it is or I would create a silk flower, arrangement in it which would be absolutely gorgeous The size is approximately with a base diameter at about 4 inches, from the spout to the handle is about 7 inches and like I said it does have its fill of some dents and tarnish but if you love the look just grab onto it I’ve seen these offered up to $400 but those are in pristine condition. Enjoy.
