American Victorian Silver Plate Water Tipper by Wilcox

This American double chalice ice water tipper epitomizes the exquisite craftsmanship and extravagance of Victorian-era dining. Created by the Wilcox Silver Plate Co. of Meriden, Connecticut, in the late 1800s, the silverplate frame is exquisitely detailed with intricate engravings and ornate embossing throughout.

At the front, two figural chalice holders in the form of elaborately dressed young girls sitting on draped seats add a whimsical touch to the piece’s grandeur. Designed for luxury as well as function, the pitcher is mounted on a hinged frame, allowing it to tip gracefully forward for easy pouring. The personalized name ‘Willis’ appears on the front of the pitcher, a true testament to 19th-century artistry and would make a distinguished piece addition to any tablescape or collection.
