Antique English Copper Luster Raised Rose Pitcher

A handsome 19th-century copper luster earthenware pitcher featuring a bold cobalt blue band and applied hand-painted floral sprigs. The classic baluster form, beaded borders, and rich coppery mirror sheen make this a striking mantle or shelf piece.
