It is called Masterpiece and has been nicknamed 'The Pregnant Duck' pitcher. It was designed by the danish silversmith and architect Henning Koppel in 1954. Initially it came in stainless steel and sterling silver versions. 55 years later a version in copper plated stainless steel was donated by Georg Jensen to a charity auction in Denmark. This is not what's on offer here. Our pitcher is made from solid copper (testet) that has aged and developed a beautiful and rich patina over time. We suspect it was made between 1960-80. Our research indicates that its most probably either a prototype, production sample or a unique piece. It is marked underneath its base in relief: Georg Jensen, Denmark, HK for Henning Koppel. The pitcher is very usable and can contain 1-1.5 liters of fluid. This piece has an attribution mark,
