Jar - Copper, Porcelain, Brass - Old Dutch cover-up

Beautiful, authentic Dutch smothering pot from the 19th century. This atmospheric antique piece is made of red copper and features a contrasting brass lid and sturdy brass claw feet. A notable detail is the original porcelain (or earthenware) knob on the lid, decorated with a classic blue floral motif. In the past, a smothering pot was used to smother glowing coal or turf so that it could be reused later. Today it is a beautiful and decorative object for a country or classical interior, for example beside the fireplace, as a storage piece, or as a unique planter.
