Hand raised and finished from jointed sections of beaten copper and brass. Of baluster form, the broad central section is created from copper and incorporates a brazed vertical seam. The stepped circular brass foot and waisted neck sections are formed from brass - this unusual example incorporates a hinged cover to the vessel, the cover hinge copper riveted. The convex cover incorporates a central bud form knop. Of centrally fluted form, the hinged carry handle prevents the cover from opening when upright - the handle also acts as a 'rest' to the cover when open. The applied scrolling brass spout is tightly copper riveted in position and incorporates a stylised dragon head at the opening. Height - 6 3/8" (163mm). Weight - 245 grams Condition: Very Good. No repair work. Minor surface marks and bruises - consistent with genuine age and usage. Fine natural colour and patina. Internal Ref: IHJB 1038
