Answer: From your description it appears you have a pitcher from the Bob White dinnerware pattern. Bob White pitchers were made in two sizes. The 60oz pitcher is about 11.5 inches tall and is very common. Although antique shops often price this pitcher much higher, it seldom sells for more than $20 to $30 because there are so many of them on the market. The 112oz pitcher is about 14 inches tall and it is more difficult to find. In excellent condition a 112oz Bob White pitcher is worth $75 to $100.

Both of the pitchers described above have an ice stop (a pinched spout to hold back ice as water is poured). If your pitcher has a smooth flat spout, then it is a beverage server (coffee pot) and it should have a stopper with a cork base than fits down into server. A beverage server without the stopper would be worth around $15.
