Condition
Very good vintage condition with light age-related wear consistent with its age and use, but there are a couple of light dings to this jug. The copper has developed a lovely warm patina, and the black finish shows minor signs of wear that enhance its authentic vintage character. Please refer to the photographs, which form part of the description.
A wonderful decorative piece that would suit Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian, Industrial, Brutalist and contemporary interiors alike.
