About the Lyman's Spout

A "Lyman's" patented spout was the 'must-have' accessory for the up and coming Victorian hostess.  It's the simplest of inventions: a simple flange that prevented large chunks of ice and the debris that was embedded in the cut-from-the-frozen-lake ice from entering the spout and being poured into a glass.


The Lyman's spout has rarely been photographed.   Although many of our pitchers boast the Lyman's spout only the Meriden pitchers videos of model #434 & 435 provide an opportunity to see the flange!

ABOUT THE LYMAN SPOUT...


The Lyman' patented spout was a highly coveted feature in double-wall ice pitchers.   


The hinged flange prevented large chunks of ice from entering the spout.   Ice was not machine made at that time, and came from frozen lakes, and mountainsides.  That ice was filled with debris: bugs, leaves, twigs, etc...   The Lyman spout prevented that debris from sullying the iced beverage experience!

Created by Holmes & Edwards this double-walled pitcher is missing the frame that suspended it so that it could 'tilt'.   


The rarity of finding Holmes & Edwards holloware made it impossible to exlude this piece from the museum!
