The handle and spout are soldered on with silver solder? It is much stronger than lead/tin solder and used to solder SxS shotgun barrels together.
so is it pewter ? If its still there which it should be I will snag it and melt it
You cannot silver solder on to pewter because the difference in melting temperature is about 600+ degrees. Pewter melts around 530 degrees and silver solder is around ( pending exact alloy) 1400 degrees. Therefore the pitcher must not be pewter. More likely tinned copper.
Melting Stuff is FUN!Sent from my PC with a keyboard and camera on it with internet too.
Shooting stuff is even funner
