Small Early Vintage Etched Tankard Cup - Small Bud Vase

This vintage etched metal tankard, thoughtfully repurposed as a petite decorative vase, offers a striking blend of industrial character and old-world elegance. Crafted with a gracefully tapered silhouette and a substantial pedestal base, the vessel features an intricate hand-etched starburst and floral motif encircling its center, accented by a row of delicate stippled detailing. Its distinctive handle boasts ornate, turned-spindle craftsmanship, making it a unique statement piece that stands out from standard modern decor.

The vessel showcases a rich, authentic aged patina with a darkened, matte finish that highlights the depth of its engravings. While the metal exhibits weathered texture, characteristic scuffing, and minor surface wear consistent with its vintage history, these features only enhance its soulful, curated appeal. Whether styled on a rustic mantel or used as a unique vessel for a small wildflower arrangement, this small metal vase brings a touch of historical charm to any space.

Condition: Good vintage condition with weathered surface wear consistent with vintage age and a notable dent in the base (which could be easily bent back into place if desired. We like the added character).
