Hand-Painted Floral Victorian Copper Lusterware Pitcher

A charming mid-19th-century copper-luster pitcher featuring a pedestal foot, pinched spout, and a bright floral enamel band (yellow, blue, green) circling the belly. A pale green painted line and impressed beading at the rim add nice period detail. Classic Staffordshire look and proportions—perfect for shelf display or as a small bud-vase.
