Fine Old JAPANESE Copper & Brass WATER PITCHER-Spider-Web & APPLIED FLOWERS-NR

  
For sale is an unusual Japanese copper and brass small pitcher with applied flowers. The piece is 6 3/8 inches tall and about 5 ½ inches wide over the handle.

The copper body has a chased "cracked ice" or spider web design with different applied flowers and flower buds. The brass handle has a dragon-head upper attachment.

It has a brass ring foot with a worn silvered surface. Condition on the piece is fairly good. There is a patch on the side where a dent was mostly pushed out, and there are other minor dents as well. There is some corrosion in the interior from use, and traces of a silver coating that may have been more extensive originally. Still an attractive little pitcher.
