Antique Rustic Spanish Hammered Copper Pitcher with Decorative Seam, Iron Handle

About the Item

Hammered, riveted and soldered in 18th century Spain, this copper container was made for common household use, but with its sculptural form, rich color and patina of age it surpasses its rough beginnings to become a thing of beauty. The pitcher sits on a flat bottom with a rolled foot, and its handle is made of wrought iron and attached with large hammered rivets. Around the center of the jug at its widest point and running vertically down its back is a geometric, zig-zagging "dovetail seam" where two pieces of copper were "cramped" or hammered together while molten brass was dripped into the seam and smoothed over to strengthen the joint. On one side is a cut "keyhole" opening, which may have been made for the addition of a pouring spout. Just beneath this opening can be seen a stamped fleur-de-lis mark. The significance of the mark being on this pitcher is unknown, and though it is a heraldic symbol used widely throughout Europe, in Spain the fleur-de-lis has been associated with both the House of Bourbon royal family and the Catholic religion (often representing the Holy Trinity).
