Lot #7: Vintage Mid-Century Dutch Copper & Brass Floor Ewer /Massive Water Pitcher - Made in Holland

Massive, highly decorative mid-century water ewer crafted from warm, heavy copper with contrasting brass accents. Made in Holland during the mid-20th century revival era, this extra-large floor pitcher beautifully captures the timeless silhouette of traditional European tavern jugs and farmhouse decor. The piece features a substantial copper body accented by a wide brass middle collar ring and a boldly swept, tubular brass handle riveted securely to the shoulder and base. The underside retains the original export sticker remnants confirming its Dutch manufacture ("MADE IN HOLLAND"). The metal features a lovely, authentic aged patina with deep oxidation, light surface variations, and minor tarnish that gives it incredible vintage character. Approximate Era: Mid-20th Century (circa 1950s–1970s). Dimensions: Extra-large scale. Standing approximately 22 to 24 inches tall. During the post-WWII era, metal workshops in the Netherlands experienced a massive boom, reproducing grand 17th- and 18th-century Dutch tavern and hearth ware for the global export market. These mid-century pieces were fabricated using traditional spun metal techniques combined with classic assembly methods like heavy brass riveting. While they were commercially distributed rather than created by a singular art designer, they are widely collected today for their impressive scale, reliable structural integrity, and distinctively bold Dutch silhouettes.
