Teleflora Hammered Copper Pitcher Vase, Brass Handle, India, 6 in

Overview

A small hammered copper pitcher with a brass handle, sold as a Teleflora gift container. The round body narrows to a short neck and opens to a flared, rolled rim with a pinched pouring spout. The whole surface is covered in round hammer marks that catch the light, and the warm copper tone sets off the yellow brass of the handle. The handle is a curved strip of brass with a scrolled lower end, fixed to the body with rivets. It works well as a vase for fresh or dried flowers, or as a decorative accent on a shelf, kitchen counter, mantel or windowsill.

Background

Teleflora is a US florist network, and pieces like this were sold as containers for flower arrangements. The base still has the original clear label reading "A Teleflora Gift," "© Teleflora" and "Made in India." The body is thin, lightweight copper with lathe rings visible on the base, and the interior is unlined, so it is meant for display or flowers rather than drinks.

Condition

Good pre-owned condition with no breaks or loose parts. There are light scratches, mostly near the base, a few small dark spots on the surface, and some darkening around the handle rivets. Please see all photos.

Dimensions & Weight

The pitcher measures 6 x 6.5 x 4.8 inches (H x W x D), including the handle and spout. It weighs about 12.1 oz.
