An American Silver-gilt and Cut-glass Pitcher, Gorham Mfg. Co., Providence, RI, 1893

the cut-glass body tapered cylindrical and cut with faceted lozenges and roundels, the silver-gilt base rim with spiraling lobes, beaded lobes and foliage, the upper rim and spout with winged masks linked by ribbon-tied swags of bellflowers, spout with radiating foliage centered by script monogram HCM, the domed spout chased with spiraling strapwork and surmounted by a demi-eagle finial, angular handle applied with ivy vines

This tankard was completed 28 July, 1893, so it may have been sent to Gorham's exhibition at the Chicago World's Fair that year.  It required 130 hours of chasing, then an additional 40 hours for mounting on the glass.  The net factory price was $160, including $64 for "chasing labor" and $20 for the glass (information courtesy of Sam Hough).
