This is a charming vintage water jug or pitcher, likely originating from India, showcasing a beautiful verdigris (greenish) bronze patina over a brass-coloured metal.

The base retains its original brass colour, contrasting nicely with the aged patina. This versatile piece could be used as a decorative vase for flowers, a unique pen or pencil pot, or simply as a captivating home decor accent. The base still has its original “made in India” sticker.

Condition:

This vintage jug is presented in good condition, with light wear consistent with its age and use. There are some light surface scratches visible, which are to be expected in a piece of this age and do not detract significantly from its overall appeal. The patina has developed naturally over time, adding to its unique character.

• Display on a shelf or mantelpiece as a standalone decorative item.
• Use as a unique vase for small floral arrangements, bringing a touch of vintage charm to any room.
• Place on a desk or side table to hold pens, pencils, or small stationery items.
• Incorporate into a vintage-inspired display with other antique or eclectic pieces.
• Its rich colour and texture would complement both light and dark interior schemes.
