Cute little ceramic pitcher with a hinged brass lid. The handle has been glued back on and there is a crack that runs parallel to the handle (please see picture with arrows). The arrows show about where the crack starts and stops. I don't think the pitcher is in danger of breaking there, but it is a crack that you can see from both sides. The pitcher is about 9" at its tallest point and 4-1/2" at its widest point. The inside of the pitcher is pretty clean. I don't see any maker's name on it. It's been in my mother-in-law's china cabinet for years, and I never knew it was cracked.
