c. 1940s-1950s; Poole Silver Co. – Taunton, MA Silverplated water pitcher with a bulbous body, scrolling handle, and repoussé foliate feet. The broad spout is designed for pouring at the table, while the curving handle provides a sturdy grip. Its balanced proportions and restrained rococo flourishes reflect Poole’s mid-century hollowware style. Founded in 1892 in Taunton, Massachusetts, Poole Silver Co. established itself as a leading American manufacturer of silverplate and sterling hollowware. Known for elegant yet practical service pieces, Poole became part of Towle Silversmiths in 1971. This pitcher demonstrates the firm’s ability to adapt classical design motifs for mid-20th-century dining traditions.
