Question
QUESTION: Hello,

I have a water pitcher that I inherited from my grandmother and I am trying to figure out if there is a value and any history.  I have attached the picture.  Thank you for your advice in advance!

ANSWER: Sindi,
How wonderful! Are there any markings on the bottom? Can you photograph those & send? Leisha

QUESTION: It has USA on the bottom. I have attached the picture. I have additional pictures but it appears only one can be sent at a time?

Answer
Sindi,
It is a Shawnee Granny Ann. They're highly collectible. The value depends upon the condition but I've seen ones similar to this right under $200. Here's some links that may be of help to you;
