19th Century Spanish Arab Style Copper Two-Handled Jug with Wrought Iron Stand
About the Item
Copper containers of varying shapes and sizes have been used in Spanish homes and kitchens for many centuries. Copper and its alloys were particularly popular metals for storing and preparing foodstuffs, not only because they were they durable, but because these metals exhibited natural antibacterial properties. This particular jug, most likely made for the storage and serving of liquids such as water or milk, exhibits strong Hispano-Moresque influences. The baluster shape, symmetrical wing-like handles, and fitted, domed lid all reference Spanish Arab design traditions. In various places on the container, most obviously around the center of the jug at its widest point, can be seen a geometric, gold colored, zigzagging line. This is a seam where two pieces of copper have been brazed together. Often referred to as a ‘dovetail’ (more correctly a ‘cramped’ or ‘castellated’ joint) this seam was a time-consuming hand process, and demonstrates a fair level of skill and craftsmanship. The handles are attached with large hand-hammered rivets, and both the rim of the mouth and the foot on which the jug sits are rolled copper. The wrought iron stand is posterior, most probably made in the 20th century and added for decorative purposes.
