Wilton Armetale Cowboy Boot Pitcher

Heavy, well made pitcher, and very unique. It is a piece of art in style and workmanship! I can see this lasting for years to come and it looks great left out on our bar to boot (No pun intended). Fun conversation piece. Useful and beautiful!

This is beautiful and being used not as intended, but as an urn for my aunt. It arrived before she passed, and she simply loved it!😊

The item is described as a pitcher, but is more suited to be used as a decoration for holding flowers or other ornamental items. It is adorned by a rope-style handle, imitation stitching and a spur, but no spout for the dispensing of liquids. So..., I would not call it a 'pitcher'.Armetale is the name of a proprietary food-safe metal alloy by Wilton and is made mostly from aluminum. This being the case, the finish is shiny but not durable. It will scratch easily if an abrasive is used on it. It shouldn't be washed in a dishwasher with strong detergents or the finish could be harmed. If cleaning it needed, it should be hand washed with gentle soap . If you need to shine it up, you could use a metal polish that is suitable for aluminum (like Never-Dull). Just consider the toxicity of any cleaners you use if you plan on serving anything consumable from it.The boot is very pretty, even with the imperfections that come from the manufacturing process of sand casting. It is made from several pieces as indicated by seams within the boot. From the outside however, there's no visual evidence of the joints. Speaking of manufacturing; be advised that this particular Armetale item was made in China as indicated by a sticker on the bottom of the sole (in case that's an issue for you). While once manufactured solely in the United States, that is no longer the case. I've read that Wilton Armetale is now owned by Lifetime Brands which also owns Farberware, KitchenAid and other brands.It is what it is; an aluminum 'pitcher' (more like a vase) in the shape of a boot with decorative stitching, a spur and a handle. Not one of Armetale's more functional pieces. As a decoration however, it's attractive.

If it had a groove inside front , it could Ctually be used as a pitcher better. I'm using it as utilize holder.

Great piece that we keep out all the time, and fun for pitchers of drinks when entertaining. We also have a “matching” Wilton cowboy hat/chip and salsa piece.

Gave this as a gift. She loves it and the cowboy hat chip and dip made by same company.

It was exactly what we were looking for. We used it to make a trophy. High quality! We love it!
