Siver-plated pitchers
Silver-plated pitchers carry an air of prestige and build a pretty antique-look patina with age while stainless steel ones are often more affordable and won’t tarnish or rust. So if you’re in the market for a new pitcher, do some product research and choose a style that suits you.

1 Stainless steel shiny. CB2, $35.
2 St. James silver-plated oval. William Ashley China, $382.
3 Silver-plated . Cynthia Findlay Antiques, $125.
