AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Messing jardinière with two cast lion head handles and a surrounding relief band of diamonds between pearls. The smooth body glows golden yellow, the band catches the light in every diamond. The lion heads with manes and open mouths sit above the rim. On a sideboard or reading table the piece gives a plant a pedestal with presence.
For this object there is also a Buy now price set, for those who want to acquire it immediately without waiting.
Description:
A broad, bulbous body on a low foot ring, with a straight collar edge. Around the middle runs an embossed band with a diamond motif, in each diamond a small pyramid, between two rows of pearls. On either side there is a cast handle: a maned lion head, a curved arm toward the rim and a rosette at the bottom. The base is a fitted disk with a white solder edge. The weight of 595 grams fits with a thin-walled brass sheet with cast handles.
About the maker:
This jardinière comes from factory production of decorative metalwork around 1900. From about 1870 brass sheet was machined spun and pressed, allowing metalware factories to make ornaments for a broad public. The lion head as handle and the pearl edge come from the classical repertoire, the geometric diamond band points to the Secession. This example unites both: classical handles, a clean modern band.
In interior design:
Fits in a historicist, Jugendstil, or eclectic interior, as a cachepot on a sideboard, reading table or windowsill. The golden brass warms daylight and candlelight.
Condition:
Good, with signs of use. Body and foot: a number of small dents from use. Surface: scratches and copper-colored oxidation spots, especially on the lower body. Base disk: light soiling. The solder edge around the base is factory-made. No cracks, repairs, or loose parts observed. See the images. Offered as a decorative object, not intended for use with food.
In one glance:
Material: brass, body made from sheet with cast handles and an embossed relief band

Brand: no factory mark, signature or label found

Description and sources:
