This pot was my Grandmothers she had it for 55year that I know. Was given to her by a German lady in the town in NC. It stands 14inch tall. Not sure of the material it's made from but it's heavy. Can't make out the marking on the bottom.
Could really do with a photo of the base & marks !!
Looks like it could be silver plate or pewter ...
It does look German
Looks to be Victorian silver plate with a lot of patina/ wear.
It was OLD when your grandmother got it.

Thanks everyone what do you think the value would be around
Silver plate doesn't command high prices.
I would put yours in the $35- $50 range.

It doesn't have a mark? There is about one every two-three months posted here.
These pitchers, patented by James H. Stimpson, were licensed and manufactured by several companies (some confusion can exist because most of those companies merged into one firm, the International Silver Co.).

We use a pair when we host dinners, it isn't toxic.

Looking at the lid and spout it could be silver over copper as the base metal. RER
Britannia metal.
