meriden b company silver piece small looks like a creamer or small tea/coffee vessel. has markings 2267 (hand engraved) above meriden b company trademark. 187 (stamped) below trademark and "PATENTED CCT 24 1865" below that. Has a head figure on top, and another head figure on the handle. Can you tell me anything about this piece? My email is gillandteri@cox.net thank you.

Your Victorian silverplated (plated on white metal) syrup pitcher was made by the Meriden Britannia Co. in Meriden CT. It was pictured in their 1886 catalog (No. 187) -- price was $4.50.

A patent for a cut-off inside syrup pitchers obviated the need for a drip plate. This could be the patent date (probably OCT 24 1865, poorly struck) marked on your pitcher.

The hand-engraved markings were added by somebody after manufacture.

Hope this helps!
