The base bears multiple stamped marks including the manufacturer mark GSC within a rectangular border, Silver Plate, ENGLAND, C2/52, CUNARD, and a capacity of 6 1/4 OZS.

Condition report:

The pitcher is in used, unpolished condition with heavy tarnish and dark oxidation across all surfaces. Surface wear is evident in the form of fine scratches, scuffs, and minor thinning of the silver plating on the rim and handle edges where the base metal is visible. The piece remains structurally sound with no significant dents or deformations.
