Brass Durban Pitcher

A pitcher so polished it gives the whole room a second, slightly distorted airing.

This plated silver and brass pitcher is by Ralph Lauren. Silver plating applies a thin layer of silver over a base metal such as brass, giving the look of silver at a lower weight and cost. Pear-shaped body swelling from a narrow waist to a high lip, with a sharp pouring spout. A thick loop handle ends in a small pointed flourish at the top. The mirror finish is plain, and the stepped foot is round and low. It is 9 inches long, 6 deep and 8.25 high.

Pours with confidence and reflects on its own choices.
