18th Century Spanish Arab Style Copper Water / Milk Jug with Decorative Seam

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 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, subtle geometric patterns on the neck, and fitted, domed lid all reference Spanish Arab design traditions. Around the center of the jug at its widest point, and vertically below its handle, can be seen a 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 wrought iron handle is attached with large hand-hammered rivets, and the rounded body of the container is raised on a sturdy riveted spreading foot.
