Huge copper pitcher, hammer-mounted, dovetailed, in the shape of a large bulbous pear, concave hammered underside, body decorated on centre of a prestigious coat of arms surmounted by a helmet: chevron, head of parrot on the left, and 2 diamonds, superb engraving and a repoussé finish. Above, on spout of pitcher, a slender bearded man sticks his tongue out at you.... Beautiful scrolls in engraving on both sides, lid also decorated.
Good dimensions, the pitcher should hold 5 litres. 31cm x 22cm x 30cm; weight: more than 3 Kilos
Object of Alemanique culture, 17th century.
For 350 years, it has undergone various interventions which have left scars, visible on my attentive photos: a consolidation below, worked in brass, a solder with tin at the very top of handle, probably one part of cap redone, and it must have had an additional iron handle of which only rivets remain under the upper border.
It is superb as it is, you will not often see such well-armored and monumental ones.
Take a good look at our photos..... This object is for immediate purchase, payable by credit card or paypal.
