Standing 16 inches tall with a generous 10-inch spread from spout to handle, this is a true statement piece that commands attention.

The ruffled, scalloped rim fans out dramatically at the spout — a hallmark of regional coppersmithing craft. Two horizontal bands of brass inlay encircle the body, one near the shoulder and one at the base of the belly, adding warmth and decorative contrast to the aged copper patina. The cast brass handle is elegantly proportioned with a scrolled terminal, showing the same rich wear consistent with the piece's age.

The overall patina is a deep, warm brown with areas of original brass gilding still intact — beautiful as-is, or a candidate for careful polishing to brighten the copper beneath.

Recommended for decorative use only. Perfect on a console, bookshelf, or as a kitchen counter accent — as shown See less
