Antique English Granulated Sand Band Copper Luster Mini Pitcher

A charming mid-19th-century copper-luster miniature pitcher/creamer featuring the desirable rough-cast (granulated “sand”) band around the body. The metallic luster is bright and reflective, with a classic treacle-brown/bronze tone; the interior is clear-glazed earthenware. A sweet size for a shelf, cupboard, or doll/tea vignette.
