AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a unique and decorative, spherical metal flower pot or cachepot. The pot is crafted in a two-tone style, with a brass body (yellowish metal) and a striking horizontal band of red copper around the upper half. The brass body has a polished finish that reflects light.

The flower pot rests on four detailed, cast metal feet in the shape of lion’s claws. They are brass and have an aged patina that contrasts with the polished body.

On the sides are two impressive, cast metal handles shaped like dragon or griffin heads. These handles are also made of aged brass or bronze and serve as functional carrying handles. Dimensions: height 18 cm, width with handles 30 cm, top diameter 20 cm. The pot has a notch at the side where the handle meets the body. Interior with a water lip. Weight 1.1 kg. Everything is well packed.
