Its elegant proportions are complemented by intricate hand-etched figural scenes framed by geometric borders in warm copper- and brass-tone inlay against a darkened metal ground.

The elongated spout, sculptural handle, and finial-topped hinged lid create a striking silhouette from every angle, while the engraved decoration invites close inspection. Whether displayed on a bookshelf, styled atop a stack of art books, or incorporated into a curated collection of global antiques, it offers warmth, texture, and visual history.

Measures approximately 9.75” tall, 7” wide and 3.5” deep.

Mid-20th century (exact age and origin unknown)

Hollywood Regency, Global, Moorish Revival, Eclectic, Collected Interiors
