Antique Primitive Cast Brass Pitcher with Folk Art "Heart & K" Etching

Infuse your space with the soulful charm of this antique primitive brass pitcher. Expertly sand-cast from heavy solid brass, the vessel features a deeply pitted, tactile surface that speaks to its origins in a rural foundry rather than a polished factory. The piece is defined by its naive, hand-incised folk art engraving on the front—a crude yet endearing heart or shield shape topped with a crown-like motif, enclosing what appears to be the letter "K." This personalized touch suggests a history as a cherished bespoke keepsake, possibly a unique domestic modification from the 19th or early 20th century Germanic or Northern European region where such personalized metalware was a cherished tradition. The applied handle and robust, bulbous form make it an enduring example of utilitarian art and early continental metalware. It serves beautifully as a rustic bud vase for dried feathers and botanicals, or as a standalone sculptural object in a farmhouse, cottage, or eclectic vintage interior.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE

Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.
