Sculptural Copper Pitcher, Europe, 1950's

A handsome and well-proportioned copper pitcher with a cleanly designed angular D-shaped handle in blackened metal and a gracefully upswept spout. The smooth copper body has developed a warm, mottled patina of brown and bronze tones with subtle oxidation spots, giving it a lived-in character. The piece sits on a short foot ring and has a satisfying weight and solidity. A refined and functional object that works beautifully as a vase, utensil holder, or purely decorative piece.
