"Brass Jug. Fleurdelysé Cartouche Containing 3 Crowned And Emblazoned Shields. XVIII."
Formed by hammering, lathe finish, assembled by crenelated copper solder. In this regard, it seems useful to us to note that copper objects are brazed with brass while brass objects are brazed with copper. This is probably explained by a difference in melting temperature between the filler metal and the support. A frieze engraved and stamped with fleurons and foliage underlines the neck, the base and the pedestal. On the front, a fleur-delysed cartouche, surrounded by branches and foliage, contains 3 crowned and emblazoned shields. Fixed side tubular handle, with reinforced grip. Height: 23cm. Diameter at the belly: 19 cm. 18th century period. Very good condition. See additional information on: http://antiquites-lauginie.fr Free shipping by COLISSIMO for metropolitan France.
