Description from the seller

We propose for sale a decorative vase or jug in vintage style, made in Italy in brass. These objects are characterized by an elaborate design and numerous embossed decorative elements, including a relief depicting the face of Bacchus, the god of wine, framed by vines, acanthus leaves, and figures of dancers or putti.

Materials: Often made of brass or heavy metal alloys, sometimes with patinated bronze or pewter finishes (known as "95% pewter").

Style: The design is inspired by Art Nouveau or Victorian styles, with rich Baroque and Rococo decorations.

Use: Although shaped like jugs or decanters, they are primarily intended as display pieces or decorative vases for home decor.
