Litre Measure 1875 - 1895

"Litre Measure" is a pewter pitcher created by the artist Le Seigneur, Caen, between 1875 and 1895. It is currently part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection. The piece is a simple, cylindrical pitcher with a hinged lid and a handle on one side, making it both practical and aesthetically pleasing. The word "LITRE" is engraved on the side, highlighting its function as a measuring tool. The pitcher's metallic surface exhibits a natural patina, adding to its historical charm.
