Peerage Copper and Brass Ewer

An attractive vintage copper and brass ewer by Peerage of England, with a polished copper baluster body, a brass banded shoulder and neck, a tall flared brass pouring spout, a scrolled brass handle and a round brass pedestal foot. The warm contrast of copper and brass gives it a classic, timeless look. It's a lovely decorative piece for a mantelpiece, dresser or windowsill, perfect filled with dried flowers or grasses, or as part of a collection of English copper and brassware. Peerage was the post-war trade name of Pearson Page Jewsbury & Co of Birmingham, makers of traditional brass and copperware.
